1 Warranty
1.1 We provide this Warranty to you in addition to any rights or remedies you have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and/or any other applicable consumer law (Consumer Law Rights). This Warranty does not replace or limit any remedy you have pursuant to your Consumer Law Rights, which you may exercise free of charge. You can get more information about your Consumer Law Rights at Citizens Advice.
1.2 Subject to the terms of this Warranty, if during the first 7 years from the date of purchase of the Goods from us (Warranty Period), the Goods prove defective by reason of improper workmanship or materials, we will repair or replace the Goods.
1.3 Your Consumer Law Rights may extend beyond the Warranty Period.
1.4 If any materials, parts or features required to facilitate any repair or replacement pursuant to clause 1.2 are unavailable or no longer in production, or your model of Goods is no longer available or in production, we will use our best endeavours to use appropriate equivalent materials, parts, features or model.
1.5 We may offer our Goods as part of a package or bundle alongside other goods or equipment to give you the best value. Goods included in our packages and bundles may also be available for individual purchase. Where you purchase Goods as part of a package or a bundle, and a product in the package is deemed defective under this Warranty, we will repair or replace that product only. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not repair or replace the other products in the package which are not defective (for example, where a battery in a solar panel is defective, we may only replace the battery).
1.6 Subject to the terms of this Warranty, during the Warranty Period, we warrant to you that, where the Goods include a battery system, the battery will supply energy equivalent to at least 80% of its initial supply capacity (+/- 2%). The supply capacity is calculated from when the battery is fully charged until it is fully discharged, at an ambient temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
