Warranty comparison
Jinko Solar vs Trina Solar
The same four questions asked of both: how long on parts, how long on labour, what has to be registered, and what has to stay true.
Checked 30 July 2026
On warranty terms
Jinko Solar
Asks less of you across labour, conditions and term length.
On warranty terms alone, Jinko Solar asks less of you. Neither pays toward labour on the lines in this catalogue, so the truck roll is yours either way.

- Neither pays toward labour on the lines in this catalogue, so the truck roll is yours either way.
- Jinko Solar has the longer parts term at 30 years, against 25 years.
Jinko Solar
Checked 30 July 2026
Jinko has no registration. The term starts at delivery or 180 days after manufacture, whichever is earlier. A claim wants the warranty certificate plus the purchase and installation invoices, so those three documents are the whole claim file and they belong with the job.
Nothing has to stay true
Jinko Solar attaches no conditions to the full term in the document we read. Keep the serial, the invoice and the install date with the job and the claim file is complete.
Trina Solar
Checked 30 July 2026
Trina has no registration. The term starts at installation or three months after delivery, whichever comes first. The invoice and the install date are the whole claim file, so keeping them with the job is the entire job.
Nothing has to stay true
Trina Solar attaches no conditions to the full term in the document we read. Keep the serial, the invoice and the install date with the job and the claim file is complete.
