150% SAVINGS GUARANTEE (PERFORMANCE systems only)

RESINC guarantees that all PERFORMANCE solar systems it installs will save the Customer at least 150% of the base system value in the first 10 years following installation.

General Considerations

13. The Savings Guarantee applies to the base solar system value (Cost of System) after any STCs & Government Rebates, discounts, promotional cashbacks, refunds, or credits provided by RESINC to the Customer prior to or after installation.

14. The Savings Guarantee commences from the date in which the system is deemed grid connected by the network distributor.

Customer Obligations

15. Customer must ensure their system is cleaned and maintained annually to ensure the system operates at its highest performance possible.

16. Check your system visually monthly to ensure there is no excess soiling from birds, bats, dust, and plant matter and ensure the panels are cleaned of obstructions and excess soiling if required.

17. Ensure that the system is free of obstruction and any additional shading from surrounding plant growth.

18. Maintain an Active Monitoring Service of the system with RESINC.

19. Check your online monitoring portal monthly to ensure your system is performing adequately.

20. Notify RESINC immediately in the event of an observed system fault or performance drop to ensure the system can be returned to full working order in a timely manner. Any delays between a fault or performance drop and notification of such may be added to the Savings Guarantee period.

21. Keep a digital or physical record of power bills for the period of the Savings Guarantee.

Savings Calculation

22. Savings = (Offset kWh’s x Electricity Rate) + (Feed-in kWh’s x Feed-in Tariff).

a. Total kWh’s = inverter production (shown in monitoring portal).

b. Offset kWh’s = personal consumption of solar power over the billing period (Total kWh’s – Feed-in
kWh’s).

c. Feed-in kWh’s = solar power fed-in to the grid (shown on bill).

d. Electricity Rate = Electricity Retailers cost (inc GST) for consumption of power during solar production hours
(shown on bill).

e. Feed-in Tariff = Energy Retailers benefit (inc GST) paid for excess solar production fed-in to the grid by the
system.

Assessment

23. To raise a Savings Guarantee claim, RESINC will require the below items (‘Supporting Information’) completed
and submitted by email to support@resinc.com.au:

a. Electricity bills covering the guarantee period,

b. Evidence of annual system cleaning and maintenance,

c. A Savings Guarantee Workings Sheet (template available from RESINC on request) calculating the estimated
System Savings per billing period, as detailed above.

Savings Guarantee Payment

24. Should the Savings not exceed 150% of the Cost of System over the guarantee period then RESINC will
refund the difference (Cost of System x 150% - Savings) to the customers
nominated bank account within 7 days of receipt and validation of all Supporting Information,

25. RESINC reserves the right to physically audit the System prior to validation of the claim to ensure the Customers Obligations have been satisfied.

Potentially Reducing Factors

26. Derated systems due to shading, panel orientation, and grid limitation losses:

f. RESINC reserves the right to reduce the Savings Guarantee by an equal % of the estimated derate
amount above the regular allowance of 15% because of shading, orientation, and
grid limitation losses.

27. Electricity retail plans which do not provide a premium Feed-in Tariff to the customer based on what was commercially available in the market during the billing period:

a. Some electricity retailers offer solar Customers plans with a reduced or negative Feed-in Tariff
and lower Electricity Rates with the retailer benefiting from the commercial
value of the solar feed-in and passing back benefits to the customer in the
form of lower Electricity Rates. RESINC reserves the right to add-back these
savings as associated with the system purchase or use the commercially
available premium Feed-in Tariff and associated Electricity Rate plans
available at the time in its calculations of the Savings Guarantee.

28. If the Customer has not implemented practical recommendations provided by RESINC to maximise their system performance and savings, then RESINC reserves the right to appropriately reduce the Savings Guarantee amount.

General Exclusions

29. Excluded from the Savings Guarantee are the below items:

g. Batteries are not covered by our Savings Guarantee due to the many ways they can be configured
for personal use and circumstance.

step of the way checking your system for any fault alerts and ensuring its online and operational, every single week.

RESINC Responsibilities

data.

Customer Responsibilities

33. Customer must maintain an active Wi-Fi service with reliable signal strength to the inverter. It may be necessary for the customer to increase the connection signal by installing a Wi-Fi booster near the inverter. Should a reliable Wi-Fi connection not be available the customer may
wish to purchase a 4G wireless dongle compatible with the solar inverter and obtain a shared data SIM card from their mobile carrier.

34. Customer must update their monitoring service whenever their home internet service or password changes.

Special Considerations

35. RESINC will provide best endeavours to ensure the customers system remains operational and connected to the monitoring cloud through remote observation. This service is labour intensive across a large customer base, and we request prompt response and action on the customers
behalf when necessary.

36. Should Wi-Fi connection issues persist without action by the customer to improve the signal strength to the inverter RESINC may at its discretion remove the customer from this service after providing written request to remedy.

SYSTEM DOWNTIME COVER – 7 DAY SLA (PERFORMANCE systems only)

RESINC will endeavour to rectify any reported system faults and warranty claims within
7 days of receiving all requested supporting information by the customer.

37. Should a valid system fault not be resolved within 7days of notification and receipt of supporting information, RESINC will provide the Customer with a pro-rata $40 per week for the time exceeding 7 days once the system has been restored to normal function.

a. System Downtime Cover only applies to faults causing a loss of energy production by the solar
system and does not cover monitoring or retail electricity provider related connections or delays.

are covered in the unlikely event of a manufacturer warranty claim, system fault or installation concern.

RESINC Responsibilities

38. RESINC will cover all associated costs of call-outs, labour and materials required to rectify a valid manufacturer warranty claim, system fault or installation concern.

Customer Responsibilities

39. Customer must obtain and provide recent electricity bills and any other supporting information, such as site photos, to RESINC on its request to assist with any performance query or concern.

100% Refundable Call-Out Fee

41. In the event the customer does not have sufficient monitoring data to remotely assess the performance and function of their system, or the customer is insistent on a physical site visit to assess the raised issue, RESINC may request a $250 call-out fee paid upfront. This fee is fully
refundable should the issue be covered under RESINC’s Responsibilities to this agreement
but should be considered together with the below Service Exclusions.

Service Exclusions

42. RESINC will always provide the highest level of customer support and pursue all concerns raised to ensure your system is operating as expected and that you understand your system and are getting the most benefit from it.

It is therefore important to note several exclusions in which Call-Out Fees are not covered under our Parts & Labour Cover and will be at a $250 cost payable by the Customer to RESINC should a Call-Out be the result of any of the below:

m. Damage caused by household or grid electrical faults,

n. Systems which are performing within expected parameters.

43. In the event that electrical works are required to be carried out on the system which are covered under RESINC’s Parts & Labour Cover policy, the extent of RESINC’s liability is limited to the works that are required and do not include additional electrical works, if required, should the home or system not be compliant with current electrical safety codes at the time the works are to be carried out, unless the system installed did not meet the electrical safety codes at the time of installation.
