[Your Company Name] warrants that the System will be constructed and installed in a good workmanlike manner according to the standards of care and diligence generally practiced by solar engineering, construction, and installation companies when installing residential photovoltaic solar power systems of a similar size and type as the System in the geographic region where Your Property is located, and pursuant to (i) good engineering design practices, (ii) manufacturer’s instructions, (iii) applicable law (including local codes and standards), (iv) required governmental approvals and permits, and (v) applicable requirements of the local utility. This 5-Year Limited Workmanship and Installation Warranty will extend for a period of five (5) years from the date the installation of the System is completed by [Your Company Name].

Why is this required?

Sunlight and our capital providers want to ensure that homeowners receive a quality solar system so that the homeowners continue to pay for their loan payment. Sunlight requests at least a 5 year workmanship warranty because it is a standard requirement for many states and our capital providers a minimum five year warranty.
