About this example

This example is the warranty certificate a residential solar installer issues once a system is inspected and switched on. It covers 24 panels, 24 microinverters and a 13.5 kWh battery on a house in Mesa, Arizona, and it continues the story of our solar installation quote example: the same system, now built.

A warranty certificate is opened years after it is issued, often by someone who never saw the sale, so this one puts everything in one place. It states each warranty's term and end date, from the coverage start date, and registers every panel and microinverter serial number by its position on the roof, with the battery, gateways and main panel. The as-built layout and the commissioning record prove what was installed and how it performed on day one. A clear scope says what the installer's workmanship warranty covers and excludes, a short checklist keeps the warranty valid, and a four-step process and response times explain how to claim. The terms cover transfer to a new owner if the home is sold.

Who it is for

Solar, HVAC, roofing and other installers who give a workmanship warranty and register manufacturer warranties for their customers.
