A standard minimum retailer’s warranty period of five years on the operation and performance of the whole solar PV system, including workmanship and products, applies to the Customer by SOLAR EMPORIUM PTY LTD. This warranty period is the minimum applicable to the service component of installation and all products (inverters, panels, electrical components etc.). Certain products, for example, panels and inverters, might have a warranty that exceeds five years and is covered by separate manufacturer warranties for the exceeded period.

  • That retailer’s warranty exists over and above the consumer’s rights under consumer guarantees in ACL.
  • The consumer is entitled to claim a remedy if the goods or services do not meet a consumer guarantee or retailer’s warranty.

 

The workmanship warranty covers any defects that arise from the workmanship in installing your solar panels and solar inverter at the premises specified in the solar system installation Agreement.

  • For all work except the installation of a switchboard, the workmanship warranty period is 5 years from the date of completion of the installation.

Sometimes, we might not be able to resolve a complaint within the time frames set out above. If that’s the case, we’ll contact you and explain the reason for the delay and give you a new time frame for resolution. Where the workmanship warranty applies, SOLAR EMPORIUM PTY LTD will either (at its discretion and cost):

 

  • re-do or repair the installation; or
  • replace any faulty part with a comparable new or refurbished part so that the installation is no longer defective.
