2. How to Claim

We've made claiming a warranty as simple as possible:

  1. Confirm eligibility — Check your product type (solar panel, battery, or BESS system), purchase date, and applicable warranty period.
  2. Gather key information — Take clear photos and/or videos of the issue, along with the product's serial number/model, and note any relevant error codes or system alerts.
  3. Prepare documentation — Collect your purchase or installation documentation, including invoice, order confirmation, or installation report.
  4. Submit your claim — Contact our after-sales team by email or WhatsApp using the details in Section 6, describing the issue and attaching your supporting materials.
  5. Claim review — Our support team will respond promptly, may request additional details or remote diagnostics to assess the issue, and will confirm next steps.
  6. Resolution — Depending on the outcome of the review, we will repair, replace, or refund the affected item, as appropriate, and keep you informed throughout the process.

3. Fast & Transparent RMA Process

  • Prompt response: We assess incoming claims and reply quickly, typically within 1-2 business days.

  • Updates provided: You will be kept informed at every stage of your claim, from submission to resolution.
