Applicable products

This *Manufacturer’s Warranty only applies to the following products, which are distributed and installed in Australia.

*Manufacturer’s warranty is a basic warranty promise from XXX to the end users. In some countries/states, end users may receive an additional warranty promise (should be at least equivalent to the manufacturer’s warranty) which is provided by XXX’s local distributor; should any claims arise in this respect, please direct them to the local distributor. Please note this XXX limited warranty statement may NOT be the latest version, please refer to the latest version of the XXX limited warranty by visiting our global website via https://xxxxx.xxx/xxxx

Warranty Period

The standard manufacturer’s warranty period for applicable XXX inverters is 60 months (5 years) for Battery/Hybrid Inverters and 120 months (10 years) for Solar Inverters from the date of purchase (see above list). End user needs to provide the valid purchasing invoice to verify the date of purchase.

If our end customer fails to provide the valid purchasing invoice, the standard warranty period for XXX inverters is 66 months (5.5 years) for Battery/Hybrid Inverters, and 126 months (10.5 years) for Solar Inverters from the date of production (defined in the Serial number of the product) from Shenzhen XXX Co., Ltd.

Warranty Conditions

In the event that an inverter becomes flawed before XXX warranty period expires, it will either be:

•      Repaired by XXX, or

•      Repaired on location, or

•      Exchanged with a revamped inverter that is full updated.

In the event that the inverter should be replaced, the rest of the warranty period will be moved to the revamped inverter, in that the guarantee time of the first inverter will continue. In such an occasion, the end client will not be eligible for a new warranty card, and XXX will register this revamped inverter. In the event that the leftover guarantee period is under a half year, the end client will consequently get a 6-month guarantee period for the revamped inverter.

The warranty incorporates the expenses of labor and material important to reclaim a working inverter. Any remaining expenses, especially transports, travel and convenience cost of XXX employees just as expenses of end client staff are excluded from the warranty. Except if an uncommon/extraordinary understanding exists among XXX and the client, the XXX standard warranty takes care of just the expense of equipment material needed to get the gadget working once more. Shipping costs won’t be covered.

In certain places or business cases, to thank the claimant for bringing the gadget to XXX offices to be fixed, XXX may deem it fit to choose to offer a refund up to AUD 150+GST to the claimant or nearby installer/circuit tester to cover the on-site labor under the following conditions:

1.     Only the party who has carried out on-site service for the allegedly defective gadget will be eligible for the refund.

2.     The purportedly damaged item has been taken back to XXX and considered to have workmanship or material imperfections after testing and assessment by XXX.

…

3.     The claimant has to contact XXX before visiting the site visit for approval. In the event that the site is in a very distant area or if the installer is unable to access the site, XXX suggests the inquirer locate a local electrician to complete the on-site repair.

4.     The claimant must claim the refund within 2 months of the date whereupon the on-site repair is approved by XXX.

Any remaining expenses including yet not restricted to pay from immediate or circuitous harms as a result of the defective gadget or different offices of the PV framework, or loss of electricity created during the device downtime are NOT covered by the XXX limited warranty.

XXX reserves the right to amend the warranty service for end clients and to engage third parties in the performance of warranty services.
