Warranty comparison
Silfab vs Canadian 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.

On warranty terms
Line ball
Neither asks meaningfully less than the other.
Silfab and Canadian Solar land in much the same place on warranty terms, and the choice comes down to what each one needs from you rather than to the headline number.

What separates them
- Neither pays toward labour on the lines in this catalogue, so the truck roll is yours either way.
- Both carry 25 years on parts, so the parts term is not the thing that separates them.
Silfab
Checked 16 August 2026
Silfab's product warranty is 12 years from delivery, extended to 25 years when the installation, site and product details are registered through Silfab's portal within 180 days of purchase. The performance warranty runs 30 years either way. That 180 day window is the clearest real deadline in the US residential market.
