Warranty Claim / Defective Products:

If your product is defective, it should be processed as a warranty issue through the manufacturer. The quickest solution is to contact the manufacturer directly for a replacement. If you need assistance contacting the manufacturer, please refer to our Tech Support page for manufacturer contact information before contacting us. If the contact information is not available, please call us at 502-676- 7409 and follow the prompts.

  • We ask you to contact the manufacturer in these circumstances because they may be able to perform a series of diagnostic tests to determine the cause of the issue or troubleshoot the problem with you over the phone.
  • If the manufacturer directs you to handle the warranty claim through the seller, please complete the RMA Form and fill out all of the applicable information.
  • US Solar Supplier will then process your return as a warranty claim. The product will be sent to the manufacturer or a 3rd party for testing. At this time a diagnostic test may be performed to determine the cause of the issue.
  • A refund cannot be issued or determined until the manufacturer has determined the cause and/or solution.
  • If the item returned is found to be not defective, then a 50% restocking fee will be automatically applied.
