BP Solar Power System Warranty

A solar power system is only as good as its warranty, and the companies behind the warranty. The two main components that are at issue are the solar panels and the inverter. The panels come with a 25 year warranty. From BP Solar's perspective, if any panel puts out less than 80% of its rated power, it is considered defective, and will be replaced. With some other companies, even if a panel is putting out as little as 25% of the rated power, it is still considered to be working fine, and would not be replaced. BP solar is the only company around who has been producing solar panels for a period longer than the warranty!

BP Solar’s technology has proven its reliability in some of the most brutal environments on earth – and beyond. Our technology is used on telecommunication towers on wind-swept mountaintops, weather stations in the bitter cold of Antarctica and wells in Africa’s blazing deserts – even on satellites orbiting in space. BP Solar modules operate in temperatures ranging from -13 to 122 degrees F (-25 to 50 degrees C).

The standard warranty on an inverter is 5 years. Home Depot doubles this to 10 years! The inverter is subject to wear and tear as it tends to dissipate heat as it converts the DC power to AC power.

What you get is piece of mind knowing that your solar power system is working day and (well, not really at night). About the only maintenance you need to do is to periodically hose off any dust or debris from your panels. If there is a problem, you have the two leaders in their respective industries there to restore your system to peak performance, instead of trying to chase down some local company who is here today but gone tomorrow.
