Solar Panels

Solar panels for Solar Energy Systems

When choosing the solar panels we supply, we take into account a number of criteria, including their aesthetics, performance and warranty terms.

We also look at their resistance to Australia’s harsh weather conditions. Australia is a massive country where different climates coexist, from high heat in the west and centre to lower temperatures in the south-east, and wind & cyclones in the north. This is why solar panels sold down under should be versatile. LG have recently released a 25 year warranty on their NeON 2 range, demonstrating the confidence of their products while Q CELLS has its modules tested by the Cyclone Testing Station at James Cook University to conform to Australian requirements. They undergo Damp Heat tests, EL testing, hot spot testing, as well as triple yield security process, which checks Potential Induced Degradation (PID) and scans for Hot Spots. Jinko Solar has gone even further and created a PID-free panel, reliable under extreme conditions and with a better output at lower light. The brand has received the Q+ certification, which is higher than the industry standard of IEC 61215.

Panels for Solar Projects

We take an interest in the country in which they were designed and built, and in whether or not they have a presence in Australia. This is a very important fact to take into account for Australian installations due to how difficult it can often be for customers to access warranty support systems. We ensure the products we offer are manufactured in line with international quality and safety standards. We also select brands with offices in Australia, so that Aussie customers can get after-sales support, should they need it. While Q-CELLS panels are engineered in Germany and manufactured in South Korea and Malaysia, SunPower ones are conceived in the USA and produced in Malaysia. Jinko Solar PV modules are made in China and have offices in Australia.

If you're interested in investing in a solar energy system for your home, make sure that whatever solar installer you go with takes concerns such as those shown above into account. If you'd like to know more about what to look for in a solar installer, you can read more about the topic here.

Types of Solar Panels

Solar Panel wattages and efficiency levels have massively increased in recent years. The two primary different types of panels are monocrystalline and polycrystalline, both of which have cells made from silicon wafers. Monocrystalline cells are cut from a single, pure crystal of silicon, which results in them being more expensive, but more efficient and powerful. Meanwhile, polycrystalline cells are made from multiple silicon crystal fragments which have been molded together into a single cell. Another differentiation between panels is whether they are half cell or full cell panels. Half cell panels have smaller cells, doubling the total number of cells per panel, and reducing the mechanical stresses on the panel, resulting in greater levels of durability and longevity.

Solar Panel Manufacturers

As explained above, the solar panels we supply come only from some of the best solar panel manufacturers in the international market today, whose panels have lived up to our exacting standards. If you purchase panels form us, you can be confident that they will be high-quality, and supply your home with fantastic solar power for years to come. We supply solar panels from the following manufacturers.
