Model warranty for solar energy contractors

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5140002
Model warranties are given for a solar collector and a pool cover. These model warranties are designed for use by solar equipment manufacturers in developing warranties that will comply with the warranty requirements contained in Section 2601(e) of the Solar Tax Credit Regulations promulgated by the California Energy Commission. A manufacturer's warranty which conforms substantially with this model warranty will qualify for the state solar tax credit. Significant aspects of the model warranty are explained for solar collector manufacturers, and the principal differences between the pool cover warranty and the solar collector warranty are enumerated. It is explained how to modify the solar collector warranty so that it may be applied to other solar and wind energy equipment. (WHK)
