Inverter Warranty Policy

Manufacturer's Warranty

Inverter Warranty Policy

This policy governs the warranty program for Three Mate Solar. Customers wishing to participate in the Replacement Program must abide by the procedures and requirements set forth in this policy. Three Mate Solar in its sole discretion, reject the exchange of any inverter not returned in accordance with this policy.

The warranty period commences from the date on which the inverter is commissioned by the installer or integrator. For non-registered products, the warranty will be effective after the date of invoice commencing, 6 month after the production date or starting from the day of the successful completion of the commissioning, whichever comes earlier. Replacement services will apply only to the inverters within their warranty period.

This warranty policy is NOT transferable and will apply only to new inverters installed by a suitably qualified professional. The warranty policy will be rendered invalid where inverters are sold second hand through unlicensed sales channels.

Please note: If you are a private end-user, please contact your installer in the first instance. Three Mate Solar will work directly with the installer to replace a faulty inverter if deemed eligible under the terms of the Replacement Program. The warranty policy outlined here in this document represents a product replacement warranty, and does not cover the costs of installation and commissioning. If the original installation company has ceased trading, please contact a suitably qualified installer to arrange an on-site inspection.

  1. Force majeure (storm damage, lightning strike, overvoltage, fire, thunderstorm, flooding etc.)
  2. Improper or noncompliant use.
  3. Improper installation, commissioning, start up or operation (contrary to the guidelines provided in the installation manual supplied with each product).
  4. Inadequate ventilation and circulation resulting in minimized cooling and natural air flow
  5. Installation in a corrosive environment
  6. Damage during transportation
  7. Unauthorized repair attempts
  8. Failure in adequately maintaining the equipment. An on-site inspection by a suitably qualified technician is required following sixty months of continuous use. Warranty claims made beyond 60 months from the date of commissioning may be declined if it cannot be demonstrated that the equipment has been maintained adequately.
  9. Failure in registering the warranty as required under this policy. Warranties must be registered no more than six weeks from the date of commissioning. Any attempt to register the warranty beyond the six-week registration period (without written consent from Three Mate Solar) will invalidate any warranty claims. Three Mate Solar may request to see documented evidence where they suspect that a warranty was registered more than six weeks following the commissioning date.
  10. In the event that the inverter display ceases to function, but where the inverter is otherwise operating normally, Three Mate Solar may not issue a replacement product where the display/programming features available on the display can be viewed/set on external devices using software supplied by Three Mate Solar.

Any inverter qualifying for replacement within the warranty period will be replaced with a new or refurbished inverter, subject to the terms and conditions detailed within this document being adhered to. The following items must be made available to Three Mate Solar for a replacement to be effected under this policy:

The Three Mate Solar Technical Support team will work with the installer to rectify the fault or fault message through telephonic support or with direct PC links.

Note: To qualify for further compensation and a replacement unit, the installer must first contact the Three Mate Solar Technical Support team and fulfil the installer’s responsibilities under Section 3 of this document.
