Warranty

www.canadiansolar.com

For Monocrystalline PERC Module Products:

• During the first year, Canadian Solar warrants the actual power output of the module will be no less than

97.5% of the labeled power output.

• From year 2 to year 25, the actual annual power decline will be no more than 0.7%; by the end of year 25,

the actual power output will be no less than 80.7% of the labeled power output.

The actual power output of the module shall be determined for verification using Standard Testing Conditions only.

The actual power output measurement is either carried out by a Canadian Solar facility or by a Canadian Solar

recognized third-party testing institute. Testing equipment uncertainty will be applied to all actual power output

measurements.

WARRANTY EFFECTIVE DATE

The warranty effective date shall be defined as the date of installation or ninety (90) days after delivery by Canadian

Solar to the Buyer, whichever date is earlier.

EXCEPTIONS

The limited warranties set forth herein DO NOT apply to any module which has been subjected to negligence in

transportation, handling, storage or use; or has been repaired, or in any way tampered with; or which has been

subjected to extraordinary salt or chemical exposure; or which has been subjected to improper installation,

application, alteration, unauthorized service, improper system design which caused constant shading to the

modules; or which has been subjected to power failure or surges, flood, fire, direct or indirect lightning strikes, or

other acts of nature; or which has been subjected to accidental breakage, vandalism, explosions, acts of war, or

other events outside Canadian Solar’s control; or which has been moved from its original installation location.

In addition, the limited warranties do not apply to any cosmetic change in appearance stemming from the normal

wear and tear over time of product materials. Warranty claims will not apply if the product label, type or serial

number of the applicable product has been altered, removed or made illegible.

REMEDIES

If the product fails to conform to the warranties set forth above, Canadian Solar, at its option, will either repair or

replace the product, or provide additional modules to make up the total wattage loss, or provide an appropriate

residual market value of the product(s) as compensation. All remedies shall be based upon the warranted power

output of the module at the reporting time of the warranty claim.

Canadian Solar shall cover reasonable transportation costs for returning the affected product to Canadian Solar

and shipping the additional, repaired or replaced product to the Buyer. If Canadian Solar opts for repair as the

remedy, Canadian Solar shall cover reasonable material and labor costs related to the repair. The costs and

expenses for the removal, installation or reinstallation of the module shall remain with the Buyer.

Any repair or replacement of an affected product shall not increase the applicable warranty period. The warranty

period for replaced or repaired product is the remainder of the warranty for the affected product. Canadian Solar

reserves the right to deliver a similar product (of similar size, color, shape, and/or power output) in replacement of

the returned product if production of the returned model is discontinued or such model is otherwise unavailable.

Ownership of all products which have been replaced is passed to Canadian Solar.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE FOREGOING REMEDIES STATE CANADIAN

SOLAR’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION AND THE BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR A

BREACH OF THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTIES.
