PV MODULE
WARRANTY 15
FOR 72/78 MODULES

Dear client:
Thank you for purchasing the products manufactured by DAH Solar Co., Ltd.
The products covered by the limited warranty of PV modules are:

Modules that must be labeled with DAH Solar logo

The installation location of purchased modules must be notified to DAH Solar within 3 months from the date of installation

15-year Limited Product Warranty


DAH Solar guarantees the production of photovoltaic modules (referred to as "modules"), including factory assembled DC connectors and cables, are free
from defects in materials and workmanship under normal application, installation, use and service conditions. If the module does not meet this quality guar-
antee, DAH Solar will unilaterally decide to repair or replace the product or refund the customer at the prevailing market price of the module within 180
months from the date of delivery. Repair, replacement or refund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy provided under the Limited Product Warranty and
shall not exceed the period of 180 months specified herein. This "Limited Product Warranty" does not include specific power output (this item will only be
specified in Article 2 "Limited Peak Power Warranty" below).

Limited Peak Power Warranty-Limited Remedies:


DAH Solar also guarantees that the loss of the initial guaranteed power, the product of the maximum peak output power and the minimum tolerance of the
modules as specified in the relevant product specifications and determined in accordance with the product Standard Test Conditions (STC)does not
exceed:
Single crystal N-type single-sided or double-sided or double-glass products: the loss is 1.0% in the first year, and 0.4% every year thereafter. The power
output efficiency in the 30th year after the warranty date is calculated is not less than 87.4%.
If the output power of any module is lower than the nominal power value specified in the report of DAH Solar, and DAH Solar determines that the loss of
power is due to raw material or process defects, DAH Solar will, at its sole discretion:
(1) Provide additional modules to customers to compensate for power losses, or replace defective modules to eliminate power losses.
(2) According to the difference ratio between the power output and the nominal power value specified in DAH Solar's product data, the cost of modules
shall be returned to the customer in the same proportion (calculated according to the current market price of modules). The remedies specified in this
Article 2 are the only and exclusive remedies under the Limited Peak Power Warranty.
(3) DAH Solar's warranty OEM photovoltaic module can be repaired or replaced by DAH Solar within 15 years after the warranty period, provided that the
normal installation, use and maintenance fully meet the requirements of the module installation instruction manual, and the hidden dangers and defects
caused by DAH Solar's production process, such as the quality problems caused by DAH Solar's production process confirmed by a third party during the
warranty period (except the quality problems caused by material problems).

Technical Dispute
You may have special legal rights beyond the essential warranty, and you may have different rights depending on the laws of different countries. This limit-
ed warranty does not affect any additional rights you may have with respect to the sale of consumer Products in your locality. Some countries do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so such exclusions or limitations under the essential warranty may not apply to you.
