Tesla Energy warranty for solar
The short version
Tesla Energy covers solar in full for 25 years, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 14 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Tesla Energy's published warranty, checked October 2026.

- Homes within 1,500 feet of salt water lose corrosion coverage.
- Replacement tiles may not match the color of weathered originals.

- Installer workmanship is not covered by the panel warranty; it falls on the installer.
