It is no secret that the construction of solar photovoltaic power plants requires a fairly serious investment and pays back for a relatively long period. Therefore, one of the most important issues, which should pay attention at the design stage — the warranty on equipment manufacturers. Hardware warranty covers defects in materials and equipment during all operational requirements of equipment manufacturers. The warranty period is set individually by each equipment manufacturer: standard warranty period is 10 years for solar modules and inverters for 5 years. Moreover, often it is possible to purchase an extended warranty, for example, 10 years for inverters.
Equipment warranty usually does not cover direct or indirect losses which have occurred for the following reasons:
Also, the warranty is lost in the following cases:
It is very important not only during the warranty period, but also claimed response time discovered defect. For example, some companies commit themselves to replace the defective equipment within 1-2 weeks, while others — stretch this process for 3-4 months. In addition, upon the warranty can cover as well as not to cover transportation and other costs associated with the delivery of the defective equipment to the service center. If such a center is not on the territory of Ukraine, then the owner of the solar power plant may occur additional costs for logistics, customs clearance and payment of VAT. Thus, when choosing equipment manufacturer must take into account not only the specific cost of the equipment, but also the terms of service on the territory of our country.
As practical recommendations when choosing equipment for solar power plants may be advisable to pay attention to:
The ideal option is a short term warranty replacement of defective equipment and compensation for loss of profits in violation of this term. Unfortunately, manufacturers are often such conditions only at a high cost of equipment. But in any case it is necessary to think about how to pay a little more now, to get rid of possible unpleasant problems in the future.
