How This Automation Works
New warranty claim submitted → Claim automatically processed and routed
Claim Submission Capture
Customer or technician submits warranty claim with equipment details, failure description, photos, and contact information through portal, email, or mobile app. System captures all data and attachments, assigns unique claim reference number, and timestamps submission.
Validation and Coverage Verification
System validates claim completeness, cross-references product serial numbers with installation database, verifies warranty coverage status and remaining term, checks installation date against warranty start date, and identifies applicable warranty terms and conditions.
Manufacturer Identification and Routing
Automation identifies correct equipment manufacturer from product data, retrieves manufacturer contact information and submission requirements, formats claim according to manufacturer specifications, and submits claim via appropriate channel (portal API, email, or web form).
CRM and Documentation Updates
System creates or updates customer record with claim details, generates internal tracking ticket, uploads all documentation to centralized repository, links claim to original installation project, and logs submission confirmation in activity timeline.
Customer and Team Notifications
Automation sends confirmation to customer with claim reference number and expected timeline, notifies assigned warranty coordinator of new claim, alerts relevant service technicians if field inspection is required, and schedules follow-up reminders for status checks.
Status Monitoring and Updates
System continuously monitors manufacturer responses and status changes, updates internal records when status changes occur, sends proactive notifications to customers at key milestones, flags claims approaching age thresholds, and escalates stalled claims to management.
Resolution and Closure
When manufacturer approves claim, system schedules replacement or repair service, updates inventory for replacement parts, sends resolution notification to customer, closes tracking ticket with final status, and archives complete claim documentation for compliance records.
How It Works
Solar warranty claim processing involves coordinating between customers, installation teams, manufacturers, and service technicians across multiple systems and communication channels. Manual processing leads to delayed responses, lost documentation, misrouted claims, and frustrated customers waiting for panel replacements or repairs. This automation transforms warranty claim management by automatically validating claim submissions, extracting relevant installation and product data, routing claims to the correct manufacturer portals, tracking status changes, updating CRM records, and sending timely notifications to all stakeholders. The system handles document collection, verification against warranty terms, escalation for aging claims, and maintains a complete audit trail. By eliminating manual data entry and routing decisions, solar companies can process claims 3-5x faster, reduce errors that cause claim rejections, improve customer satisfaction during equipment failures, and free warranty coordinators to focus on complex cases requiring negotiation or technical assessment.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when a customer, installer, or service technician submits a warranty claim through your customer portal, email, or field service application. The trigger captures claim details including product serial numbers, failure descriptions, installation date, photos, and customer contact information.
The Action
The system validates claim completeness, verifies warranty coverage against installation records, extracts product information, routes the claim to the appropriate manufacturer portal or contact, creates tracking records in your CRM, generates reference numbers, and sends confirmation notifications to the customer with expected timeline and next steps.
