Warranty Information
*A standard minimum retailer’s warranty period of ten years on the operation and performance of the whole solar PV system, including workmanship and products, must be provided to the consumer by the Signatory. 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 ten years. We provide these warranties as standard inclusions in the purchase price of our solar systems to offer our customers the added confidence, protection and peace of mind for the long-term performance of their solar system.
Our products are supplied by Australian distributors and protected by our manufacturers’ warranties. These products are also covered by the Springers Solar after-sales service and support program and reflect the consistent and quality standards of our products and workmanship.
What do these warranties mean?
The materials warranty covers the actual panel against any defects in materials and workmanship.
We will repair or replace any product that breaks or fails within the warranty period. This includes Solar panels, inverters, mounting frames, cables, conduits, circuit breakers, junction boxes and any other system component that we install.
If the installation fails to meet our quality standards, or if there is a problem associated with the installation of the solar system, we will return to the site and rectify this problem. This includes issues that may affect the performance of the system. If we cause any damage to property while we are installing the solar system, we will return and fix any such damage and/or replace any damaged item.
We will provide any repairs and replacement products to you at the installation address.

Once we have received the replacement item, we will be in contact with you to arrange a suitable date and time for our Accredited Service Electrician to install the replacement item.

Upon collection of the faulty item, we will email the manufacturer the Tax Invoice for the agreed labour component including the following information in order to progress through to payment;
• Reference number

Installation Claim Proccess
If during the inspection of a Warranty Claim on a Springers Solar PV system our Accredited Service Electrician finds the mounting frames, cables, conduits, circuit breakers, junction boxes and any other system component that we installed were found to be faulty or damaged, our Accredited Service Electrician will replace these on the day of the solar system service under warranty at no extra cost.
If the PV system was not installed by Springers Solar and you would like one of our Accredited Service Electricians to inspect and/or service your solar system, the service call-out fee is $295.00. Any replacement item/s required and installed on the day of the solar system inspection/service will be charged at an additional cost with payment required on the day.
In some cases, if a non-Springers PV system is found to not meet the current Australian standards or regulations, Springers Solar will provide a quote for the removal and installation of a new PV system to make it compliant.
