Abstract
The manufacturer warranty period typically exceeds 20 years for crystalline silicon modules and 15 years for thin-film modules. Unfortunately, there is little or no systematically field monitored data or independent accelerated test data available to support most of these warranty claims. Investors, financiers, power purchasing agreement companies, and consumers are now expecting objective substantiations for these warranty claims.
