Warranty reference
Solar panels warranty terms
Every solar panel brand in the catalogue, compared on the terms that decide a claim: parts, labour, and what has to stay true.
Checked 16 August 2026
Panel warranties are the longest terms in solar and the least demanding: 25 to 30 years on parts, and for most brands nothing to register at all. The two things that decide a panel claim are when the clock started, which is often delivery or a fixed period after manufacture rather than installation, and whether you kept the invoice.

The ones with something to confirm
These brands hang the full term on something staying true. No clock, no notification, and the consequence only shows up at the claim.
