⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation

Contact the seller's warranty and marketplace return policy if the panel exhibits clear manufacturing defects, such as backsheet delamination, premature cell failure (visible hot spots), glass breakage without proven external impact, or if power loss is significantly greater than the expected linear degradation over the first few years of use, indicating a material defect not resolvable by maintenance.
