We have made a decision to stop selling Chinese Solar panels as we head into the Summer of 2020. We will continue to supply Chinese inverters as we believe that the Chinese inverters have improved, whereas we have been put off with the recent plummeting prices of Chinese manufactured solar panels.

The system lasted just 4 years! The customer had his cheap solar panels replaced with Astronergy solar panels. Let’s hope we get somewhere near the 25 year performance warranty that is promised with these solar panels. Luckily these panels were bought and sourced from a well known Australian distributor. This way they were replaced under warranty very swiftly. What makes us scared is the….
