    Hi John,<br>
    <br>
    There are some critical details lacking in your question; however, I
    would be most interested in the manufacturers of US product (or let
    me say that more accurately, manufacturers "based" in the US
    providing warranty of their US or China or ??? manufactured product)
    response to this question.<br>
    <br>
    Compare and contrast is the term I remember from school (almost eons
    ago).<br>
    <br>
    Thanks,<br>

        <p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,   what sort of policy applies in
          the U.S. when one has to go out to replace a product covered
          under the manufacturer’s warranty.  I realize that this is a
          historic problem for those in the U.S. but what did it take to
          change the manufacturers minds about this.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">We have a local manufacturer of Grid-tied
          inverters (Enasolar) that refuses to pay out for us to go out
          and replace their inverter under their 5 year warranty. 
          Otherwise they are a good company and good manufacturer of
          quality product.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">Their reason they have for that policy is
          that it is  “because of the pricing and business model that we
          have implemented”<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">I have let them know that the next time
          this might occur, they can go out themselves and own up to
          their warranty.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any advice – cheers,        John
