Photovoltaic (PV) manufacturers are providing warranties for their products. These warranties are regulated by federal and state laws; however, it appears that most PV manufacturers are unaware of the applicable laws and are therefore exposing themselves to unintended liability as well as leaving their customers somewhat uncertain about their warranty rights. The requirements of warranties for PV systems are examined, and methods for economically verifying the performance of a PV system are discussed. A model warranty for PV manufacturers is included.
