Warranty information for Solar Panels

Suniva is committed to offering the highest quality Products available in the marketplace for solar
modules. As part of this commitment, Suniva offers its customers a Limited Warranty that the Products
will maintain their functional capability—their ability to produce electricity and perform reliably as detailed
in Paragraph A below. Suniva backs Product reliability by granting the ultimate end user of the unaltered
Products a Ten Year Limited Product Warranty and Twenty-Five Year Limited Service Warranty as
detailed below:
A.Ten Year Limited Product Warranty:
1. Suniva warrants that for ten years beyond the purchase of the Products (the "Product Warranty
Term"),the Products will:
• experience no mechanical adverse effects limiting solar module stability so long as the Product is
correctly installed and used in accordance with the official Suniva maintenance and installation
instructions
• • contain cable and connector plugs that remain safe and operational so long as the Product is
professionally installed and not permanently positioned in water. This warranty does not cover
damage to the cable caused by(a) abrasion on a rough lower surface caused by insufficient fixing
or running of the cable unprotected over sharp edges, or(b)animals or insects.
The above Product warranty does not cover scratches, stains, mechanical wear, rust, mold, optical
deterioration, discoloration and other cosmetic changes occurring after delivery to the extent such
cosmetic changes do not result in deterioration in the Product's functional capability. Glass breakage
is covered by the above warranty only so long as such damage was not caused by any cause
external to the Product itself.
2. If the Products fail to conform to the above warranty during the Product Warranty Term and this has
an effect on the functional capability of the Product, Suniva or its Supplier will remedy the failure by
choosing one of the following options: (a) repair of the defective Product, (b) supply of replacement
products, or(c)provide a financial remedy to the end user in the form of an appropriate residual value
of the Products.
B.Twenty-Five Year Limited Service Warranty:
1. The effective power output of the Products will remain within a certain tolerance range of 3% within
year one. The actual effective power output for each Product is identified by the factory power
measurement at STC indicated in the Product invoice. End users can expect that the actual effective
power output for the Products will decline by a small percentage annually over 25 years of usage(the
"Service Warranty Term").
2. Suniva represents and warrants that the Products effective power output (a) will remain at or above
97% during the first year of operation, and (b) starting with the second year of Product operation will
decline annually by no more than 0.7% through the end of the Service Warranty Term so that by the
end of the Service Warranty Term the Product will achieve an effective power output of at least
80.2%. In the event the Product's effective power output fails to achieve the foregoing benchmarks,
Suniva or its Supplier will remedy such failure by choosing to either (i) supply the end user with
replacement products that comply with the foregoing performance benchmarks, (ii) repair the
Products so that they comply with the foregoing benchmarks, or(iii) provide a financial remedy to the
end user to compensate for the reduced Product performance. During the initial fifteen (15) years of
the Service Warranty Term, Suniva will remedy a failure of the Limited Service Warranty by offering
either to supply replacement products or repair the Products under options (i) or(ii) in the preceding
1 11' t t

sent ce. At Suniva's discretion, following the initial fifteen (15)years of the Service Warranty Term,
Suni a may also remedy the failure of the Limited Service Warranty by choosing to grant a financial
reme y under option (iii)above.
3. Suni a does not warrant that any replacement products supplied under paragraph 2 above will be
new roducts or products that are as good as new. End user acknowledges that Suniva may satisfy
the replacement remedy in paragraph 2 above by supplying used and/or repaired products as
replacements so long as the replacement products comply with the performance benchmarks set
forth In paragraph 2.
C.Additipnal Warranty Conditions:
1. The _imited Service Warranty Term will not be extended even in the event of Product repair or
replacement.
2. The Limited Service Warranty is subject to Suniva's confirmation of effective power output and actual
power output using IEC 60904 standard test conditions. Final performance measurements shall be
determined by a recognized measuring institute, a Nationally Recognized Test Lab (NRTL) such as
Intertek ETL, or through Suniva's own measurements (assessment of measurement tolerances will
be undertaken in accordance with EN 50380). The warranty does not include shipping costs to return
Products, shipping costs for delivery of repaired or replacement products, costs of the installation or
re-installation of products, or other expenses incurred by the end-customer or distributor.
3. All right, title, and ownership in and to Products that have been replaced pursuant to the above
wary nties revert to Suniva.
4. The warranty terms set forth in Paragraphs A and B above start on the date of original purchase of
the Products.
D.Assertion of Warranty Claim:
You may assert a warranty claim under paragraphs A and B above only by (i) informing Suniva
authorized Product distributor/dealer of the alleged defect in writing, or(ii)sending written notification of a
warranty claim directly to Suniva at the address mentioned in paragraph G below if the distributor/dealer
who sold you the Products is no longer in business. Any written notification of defect must include the
date of purchase of the Products and be accompanied by the original sales receipt as evidence of the
purchase. For a warranty claim to be valid, the written claim must be provided within six weeks of the
occurrence of the defect. In the case of Product Warranty claims under paragraph A above, the
occurrence of a defect is the first date upon which end user had knowledge of material and/or
workmanship errors. In the case of Service Warranty claims under paragraph B above, the occurrence of
a defect is the first date upon which end user had knowledge of reduced performance of the Products.
Any return of Products shall be subject to Suniva's prior written approval.
E. Use lit accordance with this Limited Warranty:
1. The above Limited Warranties are not available if the alleged defect is a result of the Product not
being properly used, operated or installed. Suniva shall have no obligation to provide a remedy for a
clairned defect if the defects are caused in whole or part by any cause other than the Products
themselves. Such other causes may include, without limitation, the following:
a. l elays by any party(other than Suniva) in observing the assembly, operational and maintenance
instructions or information, if such delays lead to defects and/or loss in Product performance.
b. Failure to properly exchange, repair or modify the Products.
c. Misuse of the Products.
d. Vandalism or destruction through external influences.
e. !Improper storage or transport prior to installation if such improper actions lead to defects and/or a
Boss in Product performance.

i. Events beyond Suniva's reasonable control (commonly known as "Force Majeure" events), such
as fire, floods, explosions, rock-falls, direct or indirect lightning strikes, or other extreme weather
conditions such as hail, hurricanes,whirlwinds, or sandstorms.
2. Suniva is under no obligation to provide the remedies set forth in paragraphs A and B above if the
manufacturer's labels or serial numbers on the Products have been changed, deleted, peeled off or
caused to be unrecognizable.
F. Exclusion of liability:
The remedies set forth in this Limited Warranty are the exclusive remedies available to the end user.
Suniva shall not be liable for damage, injury or loss arising out of or related to Products except as
explicitly set forth in this Limited Warranty. Under no circumstances shall Suniva be liable for incidental,
consequential, special or other indirect damages in any way connected with Products. Suniva's aggregate
liability, if any, shall be limited to the Product purchase price paid by the end user.
G. Warranty contact:
Any communication with Suniva under this Limited Warranty shall be at the following address: Customer
Service, Suniva, Inc., 5765 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Norcross, GA 30092 USA.
H. Choice of law:

conflicts of law provisions thereof.

For Building D (larger building and array), the DC conduit will come down the southeast
wall and be covered / sleeved by a faux gutter. The existing penetration on the roof will
be left as is and will not be utilized for this array. There will be (2) visible conduits
underneath the inverter and AC disconnect. All other conduit will be concealed by the
faux gutter or painted to match as best as possible, if necessary. Eagle County will
provide the gutter materials and paint to match the wall. Sunsense and/or our
subcontractors will paint the conduit as necessary and install the faux gutter and such
Services are included in the Contract Price.
For Building E (facilities building), the DC conductors will run internally and down into
the basement array. These conductors will then be routed to the exterior where the
inverter is located. There will be no DC or AC conduit visible on the exterior walls except
inside the fenced in area. These conduits will be painted by Contractor (such Services
are included in the Contract Price) as directed by County using the paint that Eagle
County will provide.

For Holy Cross requirements, Sunsense will install a permanent plaque at the location
of the meter on the North side of the campus that will indicate the locations of both
inverters and AC disconnects. All signage will be red with white lettering.
