Is it safer to invest in higher quality solar panels if you want a more reliable product warranty?
Synopsis
Choosing the right solar system is all about longevity, and the systems in use today come with a 25-year warranty to ensure that they last for the long haul. The solar panel used in the system also comes with a 25-year full warranty, covering both the panel and the labor. It's important to go with trusted and reliable brands, as many solar manufacturers have come and gone, leaving behind products without any warranty.
Investing in a high-quality solar system upfront is worth it in the long run, as cheaper systems installed 10 years ago are now being pulled off roofs and discarded in landfills, dirtying up the environment. These systems often only have a 10-year warranty, leaving customers to reinvest in another system due to poor quality. Make sure you go with big brands and companies with a big revenue base to ensure your warranty is valid and your system will last.

Choosing a quality solar systems is all about longevity and about how long that system's going to last. The systems we use, we've got a 25-year full system warranty we can offer on some of the systems we use. The solar panel we use has got a 25-year product warranty. There's only two panels on the market that have that, and that is a full warranty. Full warranty where they cover the panel, as well as the labor. Solar equipment manufacturers come and go. We've seen plenty of them over the years there's been over a hundred solar panel manufacturers come and go, and what we're finding is, people are being left with products with no warranty. So it's really important that you go with big brands, with big companies that have got a big revenue base to look after your warranty.
Lots of the old cheaper systems that were installed 10 years ago, are now being pulled off roofs even though they had a so-called 25-year warranty on them. When we look into it, they've really only got a 10-year warranty that they're not even getting to that 10 years. And now all of those products are going into landfill and dirtying the environment up. People are having to reinvest in another solar system because the first one they bought was of poor quality. It's really worth investing in a high quality system upfront.
