Many states, including California, require solar contractors to provide their customers with solar system warranties in connection with the purchase of a solar system. This Limited Solar System Warranty ("Warranty") is designed to meet California's requirement that the warranty be ten (10) years in length. The Warranty includes important sections that define when the warranty period begins, what procedures are required to obtain warranty performance, essential exclusions to the warranty obligations, limitations of warranty scope and dispute resolution. The dispute resolution in this Warranty requires that all disputes be settled through arbitration, which is generally thought to be the most efficient means of settling disputes.  If you are located in California, see our blog post "New Warranty Requirements In CA Under NEM 2.0" for more information about this important topic.
