We stock the highest quality and most popular solar panels available in Australia from the world’s leading manufacturers based on years of experience in the solar industry and feedback from hundreds of solar professionals.
Solar panels (also referred to as “PV panels”) are used to convert sunlight, which is made up of energy particles known as “photons,” into electricity that can be used to power electrical loads.
An average home has more than enough roof area to accommodate the solar panels required to generate enough solar electricity to reach all of its power consumption. Excess electricity generated is supplied into the main power grid, resulting in reduced overnight electricity consumption.
Once a system has paid for its initial installation costs, the electricity it generates for the remainder of the system’s lifespan, which could be as long as 15-25 years depending on the system’s quality, is completely free!
The advantages begin as soon as the system is turned on, potentially eliminating monthly electric bills, and this is the best part, earning the system’s owner additional income from the electric company.
How so? If you use less power than your solar electric system generates, the excess power can be sold to your energy company, sometimes at a premium!
Hanwha Q Cells is a well-known, high-volume panel manufacturer that offers a diverse range of high-quality panels for a variety of applications. The latest Q cells G6+ Duo panels come with a new 25-year product warranty and an improved long-term performance warranty that guarantees 85 percent of rated output after 25 years.
Power rating* (W): 325W – 460W

JinkoSolar is the largest Chinese solar panel manufacturer, producing a broad range of affordable and reliable panels. Jinko engineers collaborate closely with Australia’s UNSW solar research centre of excellence and have set several efficiency records over the years through continuous research and development in new PV cell technology.
JinkoSolar’s Cheetah (mono) panel series is one of the most popular low-cost panels on the market, with a proven track record of dependability and excellent support from local offices. Jinko’s powerful Tiger and Tiger Pro series of panels has recently pushed the limits of PV cell innovation.
Power rating* (W): 280W – 585W
Efficiency (%): 17 – 20.7%
Canadian Solar is the world’s fifth largest solar panel manufacturer, producing a wide spectrum of cost-effective, reliable panels. The company focused on more cost-effective polycrystalline cells in general, and created some advanced high-efficiency panels based on the half-cut polycrystalline cell design.
They shifted to developing more efficient mono-PERC cell based panels like the HiDM and powerful HiKu series. HiKu series became popular among installers as a high-quality, low-cost, high-performance panel with excellent support from their local offices.
Power rating* (W): 295W – 590W
Efficiency (%): 18 – 21.3%
LONGi Solar has grown rapidly in recent years to become not only one of the largest Chinese solar panel manufacturers, but also the world’s largest monocrystalline cell manufacturer. LONGi manufactures a wide range of cost-effective and highly reliable panels using only monocrystalline cells.
LONGi Solar’s Hi-MO 4 mono PERC panels use the common 120 split-cell format and have become one of the most popular and affordable 370W panels on the market.
Power rating* (W): 300W – 540W
Efficiency (%): 18 – 21.0%
Trina Solar is one of the world’s largest solar panel manufacturers, with huge investments on developing a low-cost, high-efficiency panels. The well-known Trina Honey panel range is regarded as high quality and excellent value for money, particularly the Honey M (monocrystalline) panels, which are now available in the more efficient half-cut 120 cell format up to 370W.
Power rating* (W): 280W – 600W
Efficiency (%): 17 – 20.8%
