reference for all communications regarding the
Replacement Program. Following the receipt of

allegedly faulty Inverters must be returned
within 10 (ten) working days of the receipt of
the replacement Inverter. A qualified installer
must be available for the Inverter replacement

remaining warranty period of the original
(faulty) Inverter.

the customer’s responsibility to work directly
with the Opal Solar support team in order to
limit the return of non-faulty Inverters. The
Opal Solar support team will work with the
consumer to rectify the fault or fault message

through telephone support or with direct PC
links. Note: In order to qualify for further
compensation and a replacement Inverter, the
distributor/installer must first contact the Opal
Solar support team and fulfil the
distributor/installer’s responsibilities under
Section 2. of this document.

5. Exclusions from the Warranty

the owner of the Inverter, by the technician in
the field or during the analysis of the inverter
in OpalSolar’s appointed repair facility. If a
warranty exclusion is confirmed by OpalSolar,
the incurred costs may be invoiced to the
customer.
Due to the progression and evolution of
technology, the replacement Inverter or new
device provided may not be compatible with
the installed system. In this case, the warranty
will not cover the expenses or any costs which

the Inverter to the installation.

fed into the grid by the installation during any
service activity.

outlined in Section 4, the installer will liaise
with Opal Solar support team to try and find
a solution without the need to replace the
Inverter.

for the Replacement Program, OpalSolar
will raise and create a case number for the
Inverter and communicate this with the

Inverter and use the packaging to repack
the faulty Inverter.

and shipment of the faulty Inverter back to
OpalSolar as detailed in Section 3. The
customer or installer must assist with this
shipping. If the faulty Inverter is not
returned within 10 working days of
receiving the replacement Inverter,
OpalSolar will invoice the relevant
distributer/installer for the cost of the
Inverter.

7. Warranty Registration

registered in order that they qualify under the
terms of the Replacement Program. It is a
requirement that all suppliers/installers
provide the private end-user with a relevant
warranty registration certificate, and it is a
requirement that the end-user (or the installer
on behalf of their customer) register the
warranty at the relevant address on the Opal
Solar website (as specified on the registration
