Australian-made solar panels are an excellent way to support local manufacturing. Although their prices may be slightly higher than other alternatives, this premium investment ensures quality solar system components that will improve over time.
Tindo Australian made solar panels produce 150MW annually of Australian-made solar panels featuring Q-cell solar cells, DuPont back sheets, Bridgestone EVAsky encapsulation and Dow Corning edge seals.
Tindo
Tindo Australian made solar panels are an effective way of reducing the amount of electricity your home or business uses, saving money on energy costs while helping combat climate change by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. Solar panels also add security to your energy supply by protecting you against rising prices or grid failure.
Tindo Solar Panels have been handcrafted in Adelaide, South Australia, since 2011. Established to expand Australia’s manufacturing industry and create new jobs in 2011, Tindo was founded with an eye toward creating state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities open for tours by the public. Tindo solar panels have proven durable against harsh Australian climatic conditions while being produced at this state-of-the-art facility; tours can also be taken by appointment.
Tindo Solar has recently joined Reclaim PV’s recycling program to ensure nearly 100 per cent of their solar panels will be recycled and re-used within the industry. This industry is sure to make an impactful statement about Tindo’s commitment to its local community and their dedication to sustainable practices.
Tindo Solar Australia is one of the few Australian-made solar panel manufacturers, while over three-quarters of homes with solar installations come from overseas (mainly China). The Australian government recently awarded $1 Million from the Manufacturing Modernisation Fund to construct a state-of-the-art plant that will help them compete with Chinese-based companies offering their panels in Australia. Tindo Australian made solar panels use high-quality components such as Q-cell solar cells from Q-Cells solar modules; DuPont back sheets; Dow Corning edge seals; Bridgestone EVAsky Encapsulant; FPE junction boxes, FPE junction boxes, and Saint Gobain glass.
Panasonic
Panasonic, one of the world’s leading consumer electronics manufacturers, entered the solar energy market in 1975. While best known for its home electronics offerings, Panasonic also produces top-performing solar panels with its unique heterojunction technology (HIT). Panasonic solar panels were among the three most quoted brands in 2023 for EnergySage shoppers and installers alike.
Panasonic’s HIT solar panels use monocrystalline silicon wafers surrounded by extremely thin amorphous silicon layers to produce hybrid panels with enhanced efficiency, setting Panasonic apart from other PV brands.
Panasonic’s N330 solar modules boast an impressive 21.7% efficiency due to HIT technology, converting more sunlight into electricity than standard solar panels and thus saving money while simultaneously decreasing your carbon footprint. This high-efficiency energy production can save both money and reduce carbon footprint.
Panasonic solar panels also stand out for their heat tolerance. Their N330 series panels were explicitly engineered to retain performance under extreme temperatures, minimising lost capacity with each degree Celsius rise – helping homeowners harvest more solar energy even during hot climate days and warm conditions. Panasonic HIT modules boast one of the industry’s strongest product warranties!
Hyundai
Hyundai is an internationally recognised car brand and leader in green energy. Their solar panels have long been considered among the best on the market, with excellent power efficiency ratings and salt mist corrosion resistance. Furthermore, these panels come with an above-average 25-year product warranty to back them up.
Hyundai Renewable Energy began operating its renewable energy branch in 2004 and has quickly established itself as a global supplier. Their solar modules are rigorously tested in both UL and VDE laboratories for durability and high performance; plus, with offices throughout Australia, they can easily assist their customers when required.
Wuxi Suntech
Suntech solar panels are an excellent choice for Australian homes and boast an excellent track record. As Tier 1 manufacturers, they stand out with quality and performance. Although Suntech had financial difficulties, they are currently coming back and offering competitive prices at reasonable costs. Plus, with an Australian office for warranty support – especially important since many solar installers vanish within years of installing your system!
Suntech Solar Energy Corporation began designing its products in 2007, targeting residential, commercial and utility-scale applications. Over this timeframe, their innovative and quality products have received multiple awards and accolades, and Suntech invests millions each year in R&D to remain at the forefront of solar energy innovation.
