Equipment and Workmanship Warranties
Workmanship : Daylight (the provider) guarantees the solar system will be free from material defects in workmanship during the 25-year term.
Roof : If the installation involves roof penetrations, Daylight warrants against water damage caused by those penetrations for 10 years, or the length of any existing roof warranty, whichever is longer.
Repair Promise: Daylight will repair or replace defective parts or workmanship at no cost, including labor, when covered under the Limited Warranty.
Home Damage: If the installer damages the home during installation or maintenance, Daylight will repair or pay for those damages (up to $500,000 total liability).
Exclusions: The warranty does not cover issues like:
Damage from acts of nature (storms, trees falling, etc.)
Alterations made by the homeowner
Normal wear and tear or cosmetic issues
Shading from new trees or vegetation
Theft of the system
Daylight specifically disclaims any additional implied warranties such as merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, beyond what's listed in Exhibit 3 of the agreement.
Production Guarantee
Guaranteed Energy Output: Daylight guarantees that the system will generate at least 90% of the forecasted kWh in each 3-year calculation period (as listed in Exhibit 1).
Credit for Shortfalls: If actual production falls below the 90% forecasted kWh threshold, Daylight will credit your account for the shortfall amount multiplied by a set credit rate ($/kWh). Example: If 500 kWh less energy is produced and the credit rate is $0.10/kWh, you receive a $50 credit.
Exclusions: The production guarantee doesn't apply if underproduction results from:
Force majeure events (storms, grid failures, etc.)
Customer actions like shading, disconnecting internet/monitoring, or roof work
Theft or vandalism
Excess Production: If production exceeds forecasts, the extra output is rolled over to offset future shortfalls, but not refunded at the end of the term.
Termination of Guarantee: Ends immediately if the homeowner buys the system.
Manufacturer Warranties
The provider owns the system and holds manufacturer warranties.
Daylight agrees to submit warranty claims to the manufacturers on your behalf using commercially reasonable efforts. When/if you purchase the system, manufacturer warranties are assigned to you.
When the System Is Purchased
Once the customer purchases the system, Daylight's maintenance, insurance, and production guarantee obligations end. The Limited Warranty (Exhibit 3) continues for its remaining term.
All assignable manufacturer warranties are transferred to the customer.
