Global leader in transformational household products, d.light, has extended the warranty on its off-grid solar products to five years from two years.

The company, in a statement on Monday, said this reinforces its long-standing commitment to quality leadership, after it became the first company in the sector to introduce a 2-year warranty 15 years ago, a move that fundamentally shifted customer expectations and pushed the industry toward higher quality standards.

The energy firm disclosed that the new 5-year warranty underscores its confidence in its product quality and reinforces its mission to transform the lives of customers by delivering products they can trust for years to come.

The 5-year warranty is available on all d.light solar home systems and solar inverters, effective February 14, 2026, and will be extended to existing customers who purchased their product after December 31, 2023.

“At d.light, quality is not just a feature — it is a commitment to our customers. Launching the industry’s first 5-year warranty reflects nearly two decades of investment in engineering, manufacturing excellence, and real-world product testing.

“We believe customers who depend on our products every day deserve long-term reliability and peace of mind,” the Chief Product and Strategy Officer of d.light, Mr Karl Skare, said.

“Quality leadership requires long-term thinking. We have always believed that pushing quality standards forward is good for customers, good for partners, and good for the entire industry. This 5-year warranty is another step in our commitment to lead from the front,” he added.

Over the last 20 years, d.light has manufactured over 40 million solar products and continually invested in product design, supply chain quality control, and field performance monitoring.

The company’s products are designed to perform reliably in some of the world’s most demanding environments, supporting families and small businesses with dependable access to energy and digital connectivity.
