pearance ofthe product as well as any scratches, stains, mechanical wear, rust, mould, optical
deterioration, discoloration and other changes, which occurred after delivery by SolarWorld, do
not represent defects, insofar as the change in appearance does not lead to a deterioration in
the functional capability of the product. A claim In the event of glass breakage arises only to the
extent that there was no external influence.
2. Ifthe products exhibit one ofthe above mentioned defects during this period and this has an effect
on the functional capability ofthe product, SolarWorld will repair the defective products, supply
replacement products or provide the customer with an appropriate residual value ofthe products as
compensation at its discretion.

tive output during the first year after purchase ofthe product and as ofthe second year after pur-
chase ofthe product, the effective output will decline annually by no more than 07 %for a period
of 24 years, so that by the end ofthe 2Sthyear after purchase an actual output of at least 80.2 %of
effective output will be achieved. In the event of a negative deviation of actual product performance
from the so-called threshold values, SolarWorld will either supply you with replacement products,

accordance with EN 50380). The guarantee does not cover transport costs to return the products or
for a new delivery of repaired or replacement products. It also does not cover the costs ofthe instal-
lation or reinstallation of products, as well as other expenditure by the end -customer or seller.
