The Solar Warranty Problem Nobody Talks About
Solar is one of the smartest investments you can make for your home. But here’s the catch: most warranties don’t last as long as your system does.
Manufacturers typically cap coverage at 10–25 years, often exclude labor, and disappear if the company behind them goes bankrupt. Installers shut their doors, leaving homeowners with orphaned systems and no support.
For solar dealers, it’s just as frustrating. Warranty revenue flows to third parties, while they—the ones who do the work—get little or nothing.
A Warranty Built by Solar Pros
That’s where The Lifetime Warranty Company (LWC) comes in.
Unlike traditional providers, we’re solar professionals who learned insurance, not insurance people trying to understand solar. Our solutions come from decades on rooftops and in the field, which means we know the failure points, the customer frustrations, and how to fix them.
Our mission: protect homeowners for life and empower dealers to stop giving away warranty revenue.

Here’s why our warranty stands apart:
Lifetime coverage – the longest warranty in the industry
Parts + labor included – no hidden exclusions
Roof penetration protection – covers one of the most common solar issues
Transferable ownership – increases home resale value
Insolvency protection – stays valid even if manufacturers or installers close
Orphaned & pre-owned system coverage – first-of-its-kind protection
Simple claims process – file by phone or online, with fast, professional support

Quick Comparison: Manufacturer vs. LWC
Coverage Area | Manufacturer Warranty | Lifetime Warranty Company |
Parts & Labor | 10–25 years (labor limited or not included) | Lifetime (including parts and labor) |
Coverage | Not included | Warranties are nationally backed and fully insured |
Roof Penetrations | 0 years | Included |
Insolvency Protection | No protection if manufacturer fails | Your warranty is fully insured, regardless of installer or manufacturer going out of business |
Transferable to New Owner | Varies per manufacturer/parts supplier | Warranty is transferable to the next home owner if you sell your home |
Orphaned/Pre-Owned Systems | Warranty on new systems only | Coverage available for both new and orphaned systems |
The Bigger Picture
The solar industry is growing fast, but trust is fragile. Every orphaned system, every denied claim erodes confidence.
We believe every solar customer deserves lifetime protection. And we believe every dealer should benefit from the revenue tied to that protection.
That’s why The Lifetime Warranty is more than a warranty. It’s a lifetime promise—to homeowners, to dealers, and to the future of solar.
Final Thoughts
When other providers say “no,” we say “yes.”
When others end at 25 years, we keep going for life.
When others take dealer revenue, we give it back.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does a lifetime solar warranty cover?
The Lifetime Warranty Company covers both parts and labor for the life of your solar system. Unlike manufacturer warranties, we also include roof penetration protection and provide coverage even if your installer or manufacturer goes out of business.
2. Can orphaned solar systems still be protected?
Yes. We’re one of the few providers that offer coverage for orphaned and pre-owned systems. If your original installer is no longer in business, our nationally backed warranty can step in to protect your investment.
3. How is The Lifetime Warranty Company different from a manufacturer warranty?
Manufacturer warranties usually last 10–25 years, may exclude labor, and disappear if the company closes. Our coverage lasts a lifetime, includes both parts and labor, and stays valid regardless of manufacturer or installer status.
4. Is the warranty transferable if I sell my home?
Absolutely. Our warranties are fully transferable to new homeowners, making your property more attractive on the real estate market and increasing resale value.
5. What are the benefits for solar dealers?
Dealers using our program keep 70–80% of warranty revenue that would normally go to third parties. They also gain a market advantage with lifetime coverage, build stronger customer trust, and expand their service market by covering orphaned systems.
