Aiko Neostar 2S 455W Warranty

54-cells PV Module Warranty - Australia and New Zealand Only

1. Whereas

To standardize the provision of warranties by Zhejiang Aiko Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Aiko Energy") and its affiliated companies, Aiko Energy Australia Pty Ltd under the same control to the buyer (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) purchasing photovoltaic modules under a purchase agreement, the following specifications are hereby formulated and the warranty applies to models shown as below:

2. Limited Warranty

The warranty commencement date specified in the warranty agreement shall be either within 30 days after the product is delivered to the customer (based on the specific delivery conditions determined by the purchase agreement signed by both parties, as interpreted according to Incoterms 2020), or within 90 days after the product is shipped from the factory, whichever comes first.

2.1 Twenty-five-year Limited Warranty for the Products

2.1.1 Aiko Energy guarantees that the supplied modules (including DC connectors and cable wires provided upon shipped) will function without significant impact on the basic power generation functionality of the product due to material or manufacturing defects, provided that they are installed, used, and maintained in accordance with the installation manual. This warranty is valid for a period of 25 years from the warranty commencement date. The aforementioned defects do not include changes in appearance or normal wear and tear of the installed modules.

2.1.2 This Limited Warranty for the products covers glass breakage not caused by external reasons (such as breakage caused by the glass itself or the modules).

2.1.3 This Limited Warranty for the products does not apply to the power output of the modules.

Please refer to Article 2.2, Specialized Provisions, for the details of the power output warranty of the modules.

2.2 Thirty-year Limited Power Warranty

2.2.1 The actual output power of the products can only be measured under the Standard Test Conditions (STC). The actual output power shall be measured by the third-party measurement institution approved by Aiko Energy or designated by the Customer and Aiko Energy through mutual negotiation in advance. The test simulator shall meet the 3A standards of IEC60904-9 2020.

Meanwhile, the influence of the uncertainties of the relevant measurement and test systems shall be considered in all the actual output power measurements under STC, which is generally ±3%. In order to better test the power performance of modules under actual sunlight conditions, pre- treatment of lighting and temperature is required before modules testing, otherwise it may lead to increased testing uncertainty.

The Standard Test Conditions include the following: Atmosphere mass (AM) 1.5, wind speed=0m/s, irradiation 1000W/m2, cell temperature 25℃.

2.2.2 Thirty-year Limited Power Warranty

Aiko Energy provides a full power output warranty of up to 30 years for comet and stellar 54cells module from the warranty commencement date. The details are as follows:

Notes:

● Actual output power (the 1st year) ≥ Nameplate power * (1- the first year power decay rate)

● Actual output power (the Nth year, 2≤N≤30) ≥ Nameplate power * (1- (the first year power decay rate + power decay rate/year * (N-1))

● To avoid doubt, this Limited Warranty for power only applies to the frontal power of modules.
