2. Service Warranty

AIB Off Grid provides a one (1) year full service warranty from the date of installation.

  • After the initial one-year service warranty period, the Customer may opt to purchase an annual preventative maintenance plan.
  • Service is covered under this warranty but if the customer resides outside of AIB Off Grid’s service area of a 60-mile radius of Cedarcreek, MO, a $2 per mile travel fee will be billed and payment is required prior to service. This travel fee covers airfare, car rental, gas, hotel stays and meals for the technician.


3. Warranty Conditions and Exclusions

The warranties provided herein are subject to the following conditions and exclusions:

  • Temperature Control: Warranties are void if the components are not stored and operated in temperature-controlled environments as specified by the component manufacturer’s guidelines.
  • Authorized Service: Warranties are void if the solar system is serviced, repaired, or modified by anyone other than AIB Off Grid or its authorized representatives.
  • Third-Party Integrations: Warranties are void if any third-party Bluetooth or software integrations (e.g., Home Assistant, Solar Assistant, or similar programs) are connected to the system, whether by wire or wireless connection, as these may alter the Battery Management System (BMS) or Inverter settings and cause malfunctions.
  • Normal Wear and Tear: Warranties do not cover damage due to normal wear and tear, misuse, neglect, abuse, improper installation (unless performed by AIB Off Grid), or external factors such as accidents, fire, flood, or other acts of nature.
  • Buyer Negligence: Warranties are void if the solar system is damaged due to buyer negligence such as but not limited to unauthorized modifications, failure to comply with contractual obligations, improper use or maintenance, interference with authorized service, or failure to promptly report issues, resulting in exacerbated damage.
  • Transferability: Warranties are non-transferable and apply only to the original purchaser.
