Limited Warranty

Jian Hai Energy Saving (“GC Solar”) warrants that for 25 years beginning on the Warranty Start Date1 (the “Warranty Period”), its photovoltaic modules specified above (“PV Module(s)”), shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal application, installation, use and service conditions, and the power output of the PV Modules will be at least 95% of the Minimum Peak Power2 rating for the first 5 years, and declining by no more than 0.4% per year for the following 20 years, so the power output at the end of the final year of the 25 year warranty period will be at least 87% of the Minimum Peak Power rating. If any PV Module fails to conform to this Limited Warranty and provided that any loss in power is determined by GC Solar (in its sole discretion) not to have resulted from one of the excluded events set forth in Section 3 below, then for the Warranty Period, GC Solar will repair, replace (new or refurbished) or refund the defective PV Modules as set forth herein. GC Solar will make all reasonable efforts to repair or replace the PV Module with an electrically and mechanically compatible PV Module with an equal or greater power rating. If this is not commercially feasible, then GC Solar will refund the purchase price of the defective PV Module as paid by the customer. The repair, replacement or refund remedy provided herein shall be the sole and exclusive remedy. Limited Warranty for any repaired or replaced PV Module shall not extend beyond the Warranty Period. In the case of a valid claim for PV Modules installed by GC Solar, an affiliate of GC Solar or an authorized GC Solar installer, the Limited Warranty covers: (i) reasonable and customary transportation costs for return of the PV Modules; (ii) reshipment of any repaired or replaced PV Modules; and (iii) costs associated with installation, removal or reinstallation of the PV Modules. 1 “Warranty Start Date” is the earlier of (i) date of array interconnection and (ii) 6 months following the date of GC Solar delivery. If the delivery date cannot be verified, manufacturing date will be used in its place. 2 “Minimum Peak Power” is defined as Peak Power minus peak power tolerance or the minimum rated power, as shown on the label. Peak Power is defined as the watt peak at Standard Test Conditions, as described in IEC61215, measured per IEC60904, and accounting for tolerances per EN50380. GC Solar modules shall, in any event, require a sweep rate of no less than 200ms to ensure an accurate power measurement. GC Solar can provide a detailed testing procedure or a list of recognized testing agencies upon request.
