In an exciting development for the energy storage market, OF Corporation, in collaboration with Japan Warranty Support (JWS) and battery manufacturer Renon Power, has launched the industry's first maintenance-backed battery warranty service. This innovative service aims to address the critical gap in maintenance frameworks for industrial batteries, especially given that Renon Power, which serves residential, industrial, and public facilities in over 50 countries, only entered the Japanese battery market in 2023 without an established maintenance system.
The collaboration between OF Corporation, which provides extensive maintenance services nationwide, and JWS, a specialist in product warranty and extended warranty services, marks a significant evolution in the industry. This partnership is pivotal for various reasons:
Comprehensive Warranty Coverage
The new service offers a robust 10-year warranty, combining the manufacturer's one-year warranty with a nine-year extension provided by JWS. This comprehensive warranty covers not just the cost of the equipment but also includes all associated expenses such as labor for equipment replacement and transport costs. Thus, business owners are shielded from additional out-of-pocket expenses. Moreover, the warranty service can be utilized multiple times during the warranty period, ensuring extensive coverage and peace of mind for users.
Nationwide Maintenance Network
Leveraging OF's extensive maintenance network with over 200 locations across Japan provides users with rapid and detailed on-site support. This means companies engaged in battery installations can expect prompt maintenance services even in case of unforeseen breakdowns, ensuring stability in their operations.
Supporting Market Expansion for Battery Manufacturers
This initiative not only simplifies the entry for domestic and international battery manufacturers into the Japanese market by establishing a solid maintenance framework but also promotes the adoption of energy storage solutions and reduces the risks for business owners when introducing these technologies.
