of failures in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year (unless this period has been extended 
as indicated elsewhere) from the date of the original purchase by the consumer as marked on the invoice. 
This warranty does not cover ordinary wear and tear, abuse, alteration of products or damage caused by the
consumer. Projecta solar panels are covered by a 1 year warranty for materials and workmanship and a 20
year warranty for at least 80% power output.

To make a warranty claim the consumer must deliver the product at their cost to the original place 
of purchase or to any other place which may be nominated by either BWI or the retailer from where 
the product was bought in order that a warranty assessment may be performed. The consumer must 
also deliver the original invoice evidencing the date and place of purchase together with an explanation 
in writing as to the nature of the claim.

In the event that the claim is determined to be for a minor failure of the product then BWI reserves the 
right to repair or replace it at its discretion. In the event that a major failure is determined the consumer 
will be entitled to a replacement or a refund as well as compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable
loss or damage.

This warranty is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the consumer may have under State or

foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods 
fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
