If, within
twenty-five
(25) years from the date of delivery to the original

any module
under
normal
application,
installation,
use and service
conditions,
has a power output less than eighty
two
(82%) of the minimum power specified at the time of delivery, as measured at Silfab Solar in
both
cases, then, provided that such loss in power is
determined
by Silfab Solar (at its sole
discretion)
to
be
due
exclusively
to defects in materials and/or
workmanship,
Silfab Solar will
compensate
for
such
loss in power by either providing to the Purchaser additional modules, new and/or
refurbished
of
type and
dimensions
available at the time of the claim, to make up the total wattage loss,

twenty-five
(25) years from the date of delivery to the original
purchaser,

module under normal
application,
installation,
use and service
conditions,
has a power
output
degradation
more than
seven-tenths
of one percent (0.7%) from the previous year’s
guaranteed
power output, then, provided that such loss in power is
determined
by Silfab Solar (at its
sole
discretion)
to be due
exclusively
to defects in materials and/or
workmanship,
Silfab Solar
will
compensate
for such loss in power by either providing to the Purchaser additional modules,
new
and/or
refurbished
of type and
dimensions
available at the time of the claim, to make up the
total
wattage loss, by repairing or replacing the modules, or by providing monetary
compensation,

below.

depreciation
will be calculated equal to
9%/annum,
if the refund is provided within the first 12
years,
and equal to 4%/annum, if the refund is provided between the 13
th
and the 25

year.

damaged through abuse, alteration, improper installation, application or removal,
unauthorized
service, maintenance or modification, or negligence in packaging, use, storage, transportation
or

way
tampered with, or resulting from any power failure surges, lightning, flood, fire, accidental
breakage,
vandalism, acts of war, natural disaster, exposure to fumes, pollution or chemical agents that
could
reduce the functioning or power output, or other events outside Silfab Solar’s control or
outside
the
normal operating conditions of the solar PV panels. The non-observance of the Silfab Solar
Inc.
installation manual will also void the warranty. The limited warranties do not cover any
