Maintenance
What maintenance?
Some solar companies, especially those that provide solar leasing, make a big deal that they will take care of all maintenance (except cleaning) throughout the lifetime of the system they installed. It might sound good, but what does it really mean? A properly installed solar system requires virtually no maintenance other than a good cleaning every year or two. The premium solar panels, as well as the Enphase micro-inverters we use, have a manufacturer’s warranty of 25 years and are expected to last over 40 years without requiring any regular maintenance.
The two major components of a solar system consists of the solar photovoltaic panels and the inverter(s).
The panels we use all carry a manufacturer’s warranty of 25 years, which is the industry standard for premium solar panels.
The Enphase micro-inverters we us also carry a manufacturer’s warranty of 25 years, which by far exceeds the central inverter’s standard warranty of 10 years.
Green Stock Solar also provides a workmanship warranty of 10 years.
The above will cover most anything that might go wrong with the system. If you want additional assurance, adding the system to your property insurance can cover anything else that might happen.
