Coverage starts
A sales receipt from the original consumer purchase, or other reasonable documentary proof, is required in order to establish the start of the warranty period.
Printed on RICH SOLAR's Limited Warranty page, captured on September 26, 2026; the page adds that completing the online Product Registration Form "within thirty (30) days after purchasing your product, that registration can also establish the start date of the warranty period".
RICH SOLAR's Limited Warranty page (September 26, 2026) prints "*10-Year Workmanship Warranty" for rigid solar panels; this model's datasheet prints a 25-year limited product warranty. Both are shown with their sources.
Printed as "25-Year Power Output Warranty" and "*10-Year Workmanship Warranty" under Rigid Solar Panels on RICH SOLAR's Limited Warranty page, captured on September 26, 2026; the row names the category, not a model. The asterisk is explained as "*Prorated Warranty". Revised on 26 September 2026: Re-read against the current warranty page; the earlier record was an earlier capture of the same page with a shorter note.
25 years
stated as 'Protected by a 25-year limited product warranty.' - conflicts with the 10-year workmanship term on the Rich Solar warranty page

The Evidence score uses the priorities you choose. It counts published documents, such as certificates and warranty terms, and it compares a documented figure with the best documented figure of the same kind. It does not count owner reviews, and it is not a verdict on product quality or on how many people have reviewed it. A low score can mean little is documented, or that a documented figure is below the best of its kind. Undisclosed data scores 0.
Missing for this product: First-year degradation needed.
Each input is scored against the best documented value for a solar panel, and weight per watt against the best in the panel’s own format. A documented value always earns points; an undisclosed one earns 0 and is listed as missing. Certificates and unsupported claims do not add points.
10 years is the less favorable figure the maker's documents print, and it is scored because they disagree; it never sets or raises the bar. The bar is 30 years, the best documented for a solar panel, printed by the maker: AIKO Neostar 3S+54 AIKO-A480-MCE54Db 480W Dual-Glass Module
