APS GTI Warranty Terms & Conditions

This policy governs the warranty program for APS On-grid inverters (called GTI hereinafter) by Australian Premium Solar (India) Pvt. Ltd. (APS India). Customers wishing to participate in the Replacement Program must abide by the procedures and requirements set forth in this policy. APS India may, in its sole discretion, reject the exchange of any inverter not returned in accordance with this policy.

Warranty Claims

The warranty period for inverters supplied is 96 months, wherein first 60 months will carry Replacement/Repair warranty, and the next 36 months will carry repair and/or part replacement warranty. Only those inverters registered for warranty through https://australianpremiumsolar.co.in will be eligible for any warranty claim.

PLEASE NOTE, THIS WARRANTY POLICY COVERS APS On-grid Inverters ONLY. THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE APS On-grid INVERTER RANGE ONLY AND DOES NOT COVER ANY EXTERNAL OR ANCILLIARY PARTS. ANY ANCILLIARY PARTS OR ADD-ON DEVICES SUPPLIED BY APS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, POCKET-WIFI, GPRS RMU Device, Export control Device) ARE COVERED BY A SEPARATE 12 MONTHS PRODUCT REPLACEMENT WARRANTY.

The warranty period commences from the date on which the inverter is commissioned by the installer or integrator. For non-registered products, the warranty will be effective after the date of invoice commencing, 6 month after the production date or starting from the day of the successful completion of the commissioning, whichever comes earlier. Replacement services will apply only to the inverters within their warranty period.

This warranty policy is NOT transferable and will apply only to new inverters installed by a suitably qualified professional. The warranty policy will be rendered invalid where inverters are sold second hand through unlicensed sales channels.

Please note: If you are a private end-user, please contact your installer in the first instance. APS India will work directly with the installer to replace a faulty inverter if deemed eligible under the terms of the Replacement Program. The warranty policy outlined here in this document represents a product replacement warranty, and does not cover the costs of installation and commissioning. If the original installation company has ceased trading, please contact a suitably qualified installer to arrange an on-site inspection.

Limited Liability

Subject to the conditions set out below APS India warrants that the goods will correspond substantially with their specification at the time of delivery and will be free from material defects.

2.1 In the event of damages related to the causes listed below, no warranty claims will be acknowledged or accepted. Claims that relate to defects that are caused by the following factors are not covered by APS India’s warranty obligations:

  1. Force majeure (storm damage, lightning strike, overvoltage, fire, thunderstorm, flooding etc.)
  2. Improper or noncompliant use.
  3. Improper installation, commissioning, start up or operation (contrary to the guidelines provided in the installation manual supplied with each product).
  4. Inadequate ventilation and circulation resulting in minimized cooling and natural air flow
  5. Installation in a corrosive environment
  6. Damage during transportation
  7. Unauthorized repair attempts
  8. Failure in adequately maintaining the equipment. An on-site inspection by a suitably qualified technician is required following sixty months of continuous use. Warranty claims made beyond 60 months from the date of commissioning may be declined if it cannot be demonstrated that the equipment has been maintained adequately.
  9. Failure in registering the warranty as required under this policy. Warranties must be registered no more than six weeks from the date of commissioning. Any attempt to register the warranty beyond the six-week registration period (without written consent from APS India) will invalidate any warranty claims. APS India may request to see documented evidence where they suspect that a warranty was registered more than six weeks following the commissioning date.
  10. In the event that the inverter display (a standard feature on certain APS GTIs) ceases to function, but where the inverter is otherwise operating normally, APS India may not issue a replacement product where the display/programming features available on the display can be viewed/set on external devices using software supplied by APS India.

This warranty does not extend to parts, materials or equipment not manufactured by APS India in respect of which the customer shall only be entitled to the benefit of any such warranty or guarantee as is given by the manufacturer to APS India.

APS India shall be under no liability under this warranty (or any other warranty condition or guarantee) if the total price for the goods has not been paid by the due date for payment.
