Physical damage from external causes: Damage from hail, storm, lightning, flood, fire, accident, vandalism, or other external physical forces is excluded: as are scratches, soiling, and cosmetic deterioration not affecting electrical performance.
Improper installation or use: Void if installed contrary to Jinko Solar's installation manual, used outside rated electrical and mechanical parameters, connected in a configuration the datasheet does not permit, or modified after leaving the factory.
Third-party workmanship: Damage or failures from installation errors, incorrect wiring, incompatible mounting systems, or service work by parties not authorised by Jinko Solar are not covered.
Labour, freight and ancillary costs: Covers the module itself only: removal, shipping to and from the service centre, reinstallation, scaffolding, access equipment, and consequential losses are excluded. Australian Consumer Law may impose separate, broader obligations on the retailer.
Normal power degradation within warranted limits: Gradual output decline within the stated linear degradation parameters is normal, not a defect under either the product or performance warranty.
