Warranties
Every commercial and residential buyer eventually asks who is on the hook for what. Manufacturer warranties pass straight through from Tesla, Aptos Solar Technology, IronRidge, Luma and Voltaic. Southwest Energy & Solar backs the workmanship, the structures, and the electrical work with its own warranties, listed separately below.

Southwest Energy & Solar’s own warranties
| Coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| Workmanship | 25 years |
| Structures | 25 years — 20 years on I Beam Longspan |
| Electrical balance of system (BOS) | 10 years |
| Plug-and-play inverter | 10 years — 10, 15 or 20 years on I Beam Longspan |
The 20-year structural term on I Beam Longspan is not a typo — it differs from the standard 25-year structure warranty because of how the Longspan is built.
