While originally focused on sales of distributed photovoltaic power system and EPC activities, by 2015 Leapton was producing its own modules.<\/p>\n<p>A Japanese company that manufactures its panels in China, Leapton is classed a &#8220;Tier 1&#8221; manufacturer as large financial organisations consider its panels reliable enough to finance solar farms that use them. While not a direct measure of quality, the &#8220;Tier 1&#8221; status is a useful indicator.<\/p>\n<p>Leapton is a comparatively small tier 1 manufacturer with 600MW annual capacity at the end of last year, but an expansion this year has seen it join the gigawatt club (2.15 GW) &#8211; with more to come.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48408 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/leapton-expansion.jpg\" alt=\"Leapton new solar panel factory\" width=\"836\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/leapton-expansion.jpg 836w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/leapton-expansion-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/leapton-expansion-768x487.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 836px) 100vw, 836px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pricing and performance of Leapton solar panels is reportedly on par with similar products from companies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/ja-solar-review.html\">JA Solar<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/canadian-solar-inc-review.html\">Canadian Solar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While installations of Leapton solar panels have only been occurring in Australia for under three years, the few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/leapton-review.html\">reviews from Australian customers<\/a> who have had them installed are generally positive. You can learn more about the company and products in Ronald&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/leapton-solar-panels-review\/\">Leapton solar panels review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Warranty Boost, Australian Office Established<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/\">Solar panels<\/a> come with two warranties:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A product warranty that covers defects in manufacturing and ranges from a minimum of 10 years to 30 years .<\/li>\n<li>A performance warranty guaranteeing a minimum performance level over 25 or 30 years, on a sliding scale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s the product warranty that solar buyers should pay particular attention to. Usually, panels in this price range have a 10 &#8211; 15 year product warranty and Leapton&#8217;s was previously 15 years. However, Andrew from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/installer-review\/solar4ever\/\"> Solar4Ever<\/a> gave us a heads-up last week the product warranty has been increased to 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>While the new warranty document we were provided notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Both \u201cLimited Product Warranty\u201d and \u201cLimited Peak Power Warranty\u201d do not cover any costs associated with transportation, installation, removal or re-installation for return of the modules.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>.. it also acknowledges.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At this point, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leapton.com.au\/\">Leapton&#8217;s Australian web site<\/a> is still indicating a 15-year product warranty, so if you&#8217;re considering buying these panels make sure you check the warranty accompanying them.<\/p>\n<p>Just a note on warranty generally, and this applies to all panels. If you&#8217;re having issues, the first point of contact is your installer. If the installer is no longer around, call the manufacturer if that company has an Australian presence. If it doesn&#8217;t, then the warranty responsibility falls on the importer.<\/p>\n<p>Leapton hasn&#8217;t been included on SolarQuotes&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html#panelchart\">trusted solar panel brands<\/a> chart as yet, partly because the company didn&#8217;t have a physical presence in Australia. That also recently changed with Leapton setting up shop at 965 South Road, Melrose Park, South Australia; which is in Adelaide&#8217;s south.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve been reliably informed that the product warranty on Leapton solar panels has been significantly increased for modules installed in Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":48407,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Product Warranty Boosted On Leapton Solar Panels - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We&#039;ve been informed the product warranty on Leapton solar panels has been significantly increased for modules installed in Australia.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/leapton-solar-warranty-mb1915\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Product Warranty Boosted On Leapton Solar Panels\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We&#039;ve been informed the product warranty on Leapton solar panels has been significantly increased for modules installed in Australia.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/leapton-solar-warranty-mb1915\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-03-14T20:14:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-05-05T01:26:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/leapton-solar-warranty.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/leapton-solar-warranty-mb1915\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/leapton-solar-warranty-mb1915\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Product Warranty Boosted On Leapton Solar Panels\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-03-14T20:14:18+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-05-05T01:26:31+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/leapton-solar-warranty-mb1915\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":502,\"commentCount\":4,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/leapton-solar-warranty-mb1915\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/03\\\/leapton-solar-warranty.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
