Not freely transferable as a standalone right: the warranty follows legitimate ownership. A subsequent buyer acquiring the device directly from the original owner or their legal successor may claim under the remaining warranty, provided no modifications were made and the device did not pass through unauthorised channels. Assignment to other third parties is not permitted.

Lodge claims through the SMA Online Service Centre (my.sma-service.com) or SMA Australia (1800 762 287), with proof of purchase, serial number, and commissioning date. SMA assesses faults remotely where possible before arranging repair or replacement. Important context: SMA exited the Australian residential and commercial inverter market in April 2026, refocusing on utility-scale, and has publicly committed to honouring all existing residential and commercial warranties via a retained local Australian office. As at June 2026 SMA continues Australian utility-scale operations and warranty support, though long-term serviceability of extended periods (particularly 15–25 years) carries heightened counterparty risk versus manufacturers with an active local presence. Buyers without extended warranties at the exit date should confirm availability of paid extensions directly with SMA.
