The news is important because one of the issues about Solar Power is its shelf life.  If you have to replace your panels every ten years the cost savings you get from going solar are limited.

Klaus Schaefer, Manager of Solar Service Support Department at Sharp said: “We are confident in the reliability and durability of our products and this new 15-year product guarantee shows our commitment to support both our existing and prospective customers long-term with quality Sharp products. This new guarantee will also give our customers across the European Union and thirteen additional countries the confidence to choose Sharp modules.”

The 15-year limited product guarantee, which starts on the delivery date to the end user, is now offered across the entire NUJB, NUJC, NUAC, NUJD, NDAF series for modules installed in the European Union and in the countries of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

The increased product guarantee period is industry-leading for single-glass modules, the company claims, and the guarantor is Sharp Electronics GmbH in Hamburg, Germany, where the local service team is based.
