25 Years Warranty On Solar Panels | FINALLY EXPOSED

Is your 25-year solar panel warranty really secure? Or is it just a promise on paper? Recently, a Lumencity viewer contacted us after noticing moisture inside his newly installed dual-glass TOPCon solar panels. When he reached out to the manufacturer, he was told: “It’s not an issue. Keep using the panels.” But is moisture inside a solar panel normal? When should a panel be replaced? And what can you do if a company refuses warranty support? In this video, we break down: ✅ When a solar panel manufacturer is legally and technically obligated to replace panels ✅ Why EL (Electroluminescence) test reports are non-negotiable before installation ✅ Real issues like moisture ingress, hotspots, broken cells, and micro-cracks ✅ The new TOPCon panel installation rules (3 purlin requirement) that can void your warranty ✅ What steps you can take if a manufacturer denies replacement ✅ Consumer protection options available in India We’ve personally faced defective panels in one of our projects, which is why we now insist on serial-number-wise EL reports before installation. This video shares practical, field-tested knowledge every homeowner, installer, and EPC should know. Solar panels are designed to last 25 years — but only if manufacturing quality, documentation, and installation standards are followed correctly. If you’re planning to install solar, or if you already have panels installed, this video could save you from long-term financial loss. 📌 Important Checklist Before Installing Solar Panels: Ask for EL test report with serial numbers Verify installation structure (3 purlins for large TOPCon panels) Document panel condition before commissioning Keep all written warranty communication If you’ve faced warranty issues with your solar panels, share your experience in the comments.
