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.

Coverage Southwest Energy & Solar backs directly, on top of the manufacturer terms above.
Coverage Term
Workmanship 25 years

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.
