Solar warranties: panels, production & more

Ensure your solar system performs to its highest potential and stays in great shape for years.

Family enjoying solar warranty

Installing solar panels with a strong warranty protects against unexpected costs, keeps energy production in check and gives you peace of mind. When you go solar with Trinity, you’ll have coverage you can count on from us or one of our trusted finance partners. We’ve been in business for more than 30 years, and we’ll be here for you throughout the lifetime of your system.

Whichever payment plan you choose, your solar panel system will be backed by a comprehensive warranty.


Warranties for lease, PPA, and loan

Sunnova is one of our trusted financing partners that offers flexible solar financing options. Sunnova Protect® provides 25 years of hassle-free maintenance, repairs, monitoring and replacements for solar and solar + battery backup systems. If you finance a solar system through Sunnova, your warranty includes:

  • System monitoring and diagnosis
    Keep an eye on performance and production data with an easy-to-manage account and remote assessments. Note: Expected system performance is determined by production simulation.

  • Corrective maintenance & warranty
    Repairs, replacements and associated labor costs are covered for system components that fall under the manufacturer’s warranty.

  • Hassle-free management of repairs & replacements
    Sunnova works with the manufacturer to fix and replace components covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. They manage the entire process so you don’t have to.

  • Sunnova insured1
    With the Easy Save Plan, Sunnova protects against theft and damage by getting insurance for your solar system. This is at no additional cost to you.

  • Extensive system coverage2
    Pay zero out-of-pocket for repairs, replacements and labor, even if these are excluded from the manufacturer’s warranty.

  • Energy guarantee3
    If your system doesn’t produce the amount of energy outlined in your agreement, Sunnova sends you a refund or credit for the difference.

Sunnova Protect® also includes a 10-year Roof Penetration Warranty4. So if the solar panel installation causes roof leaks or other damage, they’ll cover repairs.

If you buy your solar system outright, Trinity offers extensive warranties. These include:

  • 25-year warranty on solar panels
  • Up to 12-year warranty on inverters
  • 10-year labor warranty
