[RE-wrenches] Module Warranty

[August Goers]

Hi Fellow Wrenches,

We're having a bit of an internal debate on the nitty gritty of module warranties and I thought that some of you might be able to shed light on the issue.

We're debating the nuances between the 20 or 25 year power output warranty and the 1 to 10 year workmanship warranty. Obviously, each manufacturer has it's differences but the main question that comes to mind is how is the warranty handled after the workmanship warranty expires. Let's say a module's lamination starts to fall apart at year 11 and the module therefore ceases to output any power. This is an obvious workmanship issue but the result is that the power output warranty is no longer met. What do you think would happen in this case? Of course, we can dream up of all sorts of other examples but I'm trying to define the hard difference between the workmanship and output warranties.

Any thoughts welcome!

Thanks,

August
