Scope and Validi-
ty of Manufactur-
er's Warranty The manufacturer's warranty is only valid for the inverter that is uniquely identified by the
serial number. Other photovoltaic system components as well as Fronius system upgrades
(e.g., plug-in cards) are not covered by the warranty.
Exceptions to the
Fronius manufac-
turer's warranty Defects are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty if they are caused by the following:
- Non-compliance with operating instructions, installation instructions and maintenance
instructions
- Errors during device installation
- Errors during device commissioning
- Damage during device transport
- Improper or incorrect operation of the device
- Insufficient device ventilation
- Tampering with the device by personnel not trained by Fronius
- Non-compliance with safety instructions and installation standards
- Acts of God (storm, lightning strike, overvoltage, fire, etc.)
This manufacturer's warranty also does not cover damages to the inverter that are attrib-
uted to the other system components as well as damages that do not adversely affect the
proper functioning of the inverter, e.g., "cosmetic defects."
The warranty does not cover travel and accommodation costs or assembly and installation
costs onsite.
Changes to the existing PV system, the building installation and the like, as well as any
expenditure of time and the costs resulting from this are not covered by the warranty.
Due to technological progress, the possibility exists that a replacement or new device of
similar value provided may not be compatible with the system monitoring or other compo-
nents installed onsite (e.g., Fronius DATCOM) Any charges or costs arising from this are
not covered by the warranty.
No compensation is provided for lost power that has not been fed into the grid or for energy
consumption that does not take place and the like.

lidity These warranty conditions are not valid for the United States of America (USA).

Other Legal Infor-
mation Along with the Fronius manufacturer's warranty, there are also warranty rights stipulated
by law that are not affected by this manufacturer's warranty.
Claims that exceed those rights named in the warranty conditions are not covered by the
manufacturer's warranty unless Fronius is legally liable for them. In such cases, please see
your device vendor. Claims under the Product Liability Law remain unaffected.
