Through 2018, Trina Solar has delivered more than 40 GW of solar modules worldwide. This earned us the 17th spot on the “2018 Global Top 500 New Energy Enterprises.” In addition, our downstream business includes solar PV project development, financing, design, construction, operations & management and one-stop system integration solutions for customers. At the end of 2017, these solar projects connected approximately 2 GW to the global power grid. In 2018, Trina Solar first launched the Energy IoT brand, and is now aiming to be the global leader of smart energy.

Jinko solar panels come with a standard 25-year power warranty, which guarantees that they will still be functioning at 80.2% of original efficiency in year 25, though data suggests panels will continue functioning well beyond those 25 years. Very inexpensive third-party supplemental warranties are also available for additional peace-of-mind. The panels are very durable and are effective at withstanding heat, hail, ice, snow, wind, and salt mist. JinkoSolar also has a strategic relationship with DuPont, the inventor of Kevlar, to ensure 100% of our panels are protected using extra-durable Tedlar®, the only backsheet material proven to survive 30 years in the field.
SOLARWATT systems have gained recognition for their premium quality and glass-glass photovoltaic modules are an excellent example. In addition to required quality assurance tests, SOLARWATT solar modules are tested in real-world installation situations under diagonal loads. Asymmetric loads are applied thereby: in this way, for example, a higher compressive load is applied to the lower edge of the module to simulate snow sliding down.
Sungrow string inverters are highly compatible with many different types of solar installations and very easy to integrate. They come with an array of functions and monitoring options that make operation and maintenance very easy. Sungrow inverters are designed to be lightweight and compact, with a mounting plate that includes an internal level and unique push-in connectors that save time on installation.
SolarWorld is a German manufacturer of tier one solar panels. All Solarworld panels have a 20 year product warranty. They also have a 25 year performance warranty, except for their Bisun panel which has a performance warranty of 30 years. All Solarworld panels are certified as corrosion resistant and so are suitable for installation near the sea. They do not have an Australian office which means the company that imports the panels is responsible for their product and performance warranties.
With intelligent detailed solutions and the best quality materials and components available WINAICO modules reliably ensure top performance. As all the elements interact perfectly, the result is superior quality, for which Taiwan is well known for in the semiconductor industry. In photovoltaics this technological leadership is sustained.
LONGi leads the solar PV industry to a new height with product innovations and optimized power-cost ratio with breakthrough monocrystalline technologies. LONGi supplies more than 30GW of high-efficiency solar wafers and modules worldwide yearly, about a quarter of global market demand. LONGi is recognized as the world’s most valuable solar technology company with the highest market value. Innovation and sustainable development are two of LONGi’s core values.
LG offers 2 key panel ranges - The LG NeON® 2 which goes up to 355W and the LG NeON R which offers up to 375W per panel. There is also LG’s commercial panel range. These panels are slightly longer and have 72 cells instead of 60 solar cells which is the standard for residential panels. All the panel ranges offer a 25 year product replacement and performance warranty, backed by LG Electronics, the largest consumer brand offering solar in Australia.
Inverters
Fronius inverters are efficient and reliable and form the indispensable heart of every photovoltaic system. Power categories ranging from 1.5 to 27.0 kW guarantee suitability for virtually any system size – from a family home to a large-scale system.
Enphase microinverters integrate seamlessly with the rest of the Enphase Home Energy Solution, one system that combines energy production, monitoring, and storage to make your home energy simpler and smarter than ever. With Enphase, we can offer our customers any size system for any situation -- zero export, shading, storage. Homeowners love it, and there is no comparison in quality and technology.
Clenergy International is a high-tech Australian founded enterprise in the solar PV industry who specialize in the development, manufacturing and marketing of renewable energy products. Our range of high quality products and services include PV-mounting products and solutions for residential, commercial and utility scale customers.
REC's internal testing is up to three times as stringent as industry standards – meaning that when we send out our panels for certification or testing, we know they will pass. But beyond attaining a certification, they want their panels to be reliable for the lifetime of the product and perform strongly in even the most extreme environments.
SMA Residential Solutions are designed to help you not only get the most out of your PV system but also reduce your total energy costs by up to 80%. Built around highly efficient components, the modular architecture of our solutions gives you the flexibility to configure a system that best suits your needs and budget and makes it easy to expand your system or scale it up over time. Whether generation, storage, consumption or even the selling of unused energy — SMA provides state-of-the-art technology with fully automated services for every sector. At the same time, intelligent energy management enables separate energy sectors to be connected, allowing for cost-effective operation of equipment, such as washing machines and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, or for the charging of e-vehicles.
