The company also revealed that the product warranty for solar modules bought under its full coverage insurance would increase from 10 years to a new coverage period of 12 years. The full coverage package protects the Solarwatt modules as well as all the other components of the solar system. Solarwatt noted that to complete the offer it would cover the insurance premiums for the first five years.

Solarwatt advised that its Power Package includes the comprehensive insurance coverage, but that systems for up to 800kW would be able to purchase the package separately. The comprehensive insurance covers the solar system’s owner against theft, weather damage, loss if the plant cannot generate any output because of dame or the delivery of less output than was expected.
