LG are no longer manufacturing solar panels

Solar Power / March 7, 2022

Late February, 2021, LG made a quiet announcement on their website that they were no longer manufacturing solar panels anymore. Most of us retailers that sold LG solar panels actually learned of this via social media and various news websites. We weren’t emailed by LG themselves. One could be forgiven thinking that LG’s website was actually hacked, given that just a few weeks earlier they were talking up their new panels and how excited they were to see the new NeON H+ hit the market. After not being contacted by anyone from LG I wrote a post on LinkedIN, which I’d rather not share here. The post basically had me write about my confusion as to what exactly is going on with LG Solar Panels. I have at least one customer who I know of that has paid a deposit for LG panels whilst waiting for their roof restoration….

Hyundai Solar Panels Review 2022 update

Solar Panel Reviews / August 18, 2021

Hyundai SG Shingled Cell Solar Panels Review Hyundai Solar panels have been selling solar panels in Australia since 2009. That’s over 11 years now in the Australian solar market! In 2020 they have come to the market with their newest and most impressive solar panel yet, the Hyundai HiE-S350SG. In 2022, Hyundai panels have lost a bit of popularity as TW started selling the panels direct in Australia, just without the Hyundai brand on it. How is the new Hyundai Shingled solar panel different? There are now 2 types of solar panels on the market, your traditional half-cell panel and now the Shingled cell variant. These new Shingled solar panels are different from the half-cell or half-cut solar panel that is split into 2 pieces, whereas the new Shingled cell solar panel by Hyundai Solar is split 5 times. This is a newer technology of solar panels that are manufactured….

We installed Australia’s first Growatt 10kw Single Phase inverter!

Solar Inverter Reviews / August 15, 2021

QLD Solar & Lighting has been trusted by Growatt to take delivery of the first Growatt 10kw single-phase inverter On Friday the 12th of August 2021 we successfully installed Australia’s first 10kw Single-phase 3MPPT inverter made by Chinese solar heavyweight’s Growatt. 3MPPT 10kw Single-Phase inverter What is so exciting about this inverter is the fact that it has 3 MPPT, meaning we can use 3 areas of the roof. In actual fact, because of the 3rd MPPT input being capable of 27Amps input current, we can install the solar panels as “parallel input”. This means that we can split them over East and West for example, while having MPPT 1 on the North roof, and MPPT 2 on the South – What an absolute monster of an inverter! We have been waiting for this day for nearly 2 years, ever since we saw the Growatt 10kw Single-phase inverter in….

High Bay Lights

COMMERCIAL LED Lighting / August 15, 2021

If you are renting or own a warehouse, more than likely your lighting is coming from the high bay lights that are situated on the roof. HIGH BAY LIGHTS BRISBANE High Bay Lights are used when there is a high-ceiling space to a light area of at least 15 feet in distance. You will find High Bay Lights in many industrial and commercial manufacturing plants. Gyms, small and large warehouses, and retail shops of various sizes. All the lamps mostly that are used in high bay rooms are made of Mercury and many other outdated chemicals which are not only damaging to our earth and environment but also are becoming rarer and harder to get. There are a lot of varieties when it comes to the amount of how much Mercury the lamp is made up of, most considered are the high output T5 tubes and the induction fluorescent lights….

Delta Solar inverter Review – New Release for 2020

Solar Inverter Reviews / November 12, 2020

Who is Delta? In my research, one particular manufacturer has stood the test of time, Delta. Not the airline or Australian songstress but rather the largest switchable power supply manufacturer in the world. Have you heard of them? No? That is okay, there is possibly a good reason for that. Delta is traditionally what you call an OEM. Original Equipment Manufacturer. That is, if you were a large manufacturer that needed DC fans, DC to DC converters, Chargers for your laptop or LED headlights for vehicles you manufacture you often go to an OEM. They build their product to suit your needs. That is what Delta, a publicly listed company traditionally did, until the early 2000’s when they expanded to produce their own branded products. This includes EV Chargers, Solar inverters, Industrial automation, robotics, and ventilation. Many common manufacturers use OEM’s to supply their builds and you may be surprised….

We have stopped selling Chinese Solar Panels for the moment

RESIDENTIAL SOLAR POWER / August 23, 2020

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. In July 2020 we also replaced our first solar system. The Hannover solar panels were damaged with the rain and water had started to get in all the panels. These panels were installed in 2016. 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….
