Understanding Solar Panel and Inverter Warranties in Utah

When you invest in solar, you’re not just buying panels—you’re investing in a long-term energy system designed to power your home or business for decades. That’s why solar warranties are so important.

At SunLit Solar, every system we install is backed by the same manufacturer warranties that protect the nation’s top solar projects. From solar panels to inverters, your system is fully covered—because quality and peace of mind should come standard.

What Is A Solar Warranty?

A solar warranty is your system’s built-in safety net. It protects your investment against defects, premature wear, and performance issues over time.

Solar systems have two main types of warranties:

  1. Equipment Warranties – Cover manufacturing defects and product failures.

  2. Performance Warranties – Guarantee your system will produce a certain amount of energy for 20–25 years.

Together, these warranties ensure your panels and components perform as promised—year after year.

Solar Panel Warranties Explained

1. Product (Equipment) Warranty

The product warranty covers the physical panels themselves—protecting you against defects in materials or workmanship.

Most premium manufacturers offer 10 to 25 years of product coverage.
If a panel fails due to a manufacturing flaw, it’s repaired or replaced at no cost.

SunLit Solar only works with top-tier panel brands known for exceptional reliability and long-term support. These include products designed and tested to withstand Utah’s hot summers, cold winters, and heavy snow loads.

Inverter Warranties Explained

Even high-quality solar panels slowly lose efficiency over time—a process called degradation.

That’s where the performance warranty comes in. It guarantees your panels will still produce a certain percentage of their original output after 20–25 years, typically:

  • 90% after 10 years

  • 80–85% after 25 years

This means your panels will continue generating clean, reliable power for decades, helping you lock in long-term energy savings.

How Manufacturer Warranties Work

Each solar manufacturer provides its own warranty coverage directly to the customer.
If a product issue arises, the process is simple:

  1. You contact SunLit Solar.
    We diagnose the issue and determine whether it’s a product defect or an installation concern.

  2. We file the warranty claim on your behalf.
    Our team coordinates directly with the manufacturer to ensure replacement or repair.

  3. You’re covered—no stress, no surprise costs.
    In most cases, the manufacturer will supply the replacement equipment at no charge. Labor and shipping coverage may vary depending on the brand.

Because we partner only with trusted, long-standing manufacturers, your warranty protection is secure for the life of your system.
