What happens if some aspect of the solar power system is malfunctioning?
Most manufacturers warranty their solar panels for 25 years. Your solar installer should be able to perform any necessary servicing, or should be able to contract for those services. Because the house will likely be grid-connected, you will not lose power should any malfunctions occur. Note, however, that the solar panels themselves are very durable and have no moving parts. Depending on your roofing materials, they will likely outlive the roofs they are installed on.
In addition to the manufacturers warranty (which is normally 25 years for solar panels), we have relationships with solar technicians who can inspect and repair any problems that occur. Since the house will likely be grid-connected, you will not lose power should any malfunctions occur. Note, however, that the solar panels themselves are very durable and have no moving parts.
