LG panels – LG solar

As the market leader with the longest product warranty on the market, LG offers a premium higher efficiency panel, which is manufactured in South Korea. LG only manufacture monocrystalline N-type cells which have greater efficiency and lower degradation compared to more common lower cost poly or multicrystalline P-type cells.

LG solar panels offer:

• A peace of mind solution, as they are backed by an established global brand
• Credibility, with LG now the largest consumer brand in the solar space, with the largest consumer business locally of any solar panel manufacturer in Australia
• LG NeON 2 award-winning panels, with cutting-edge cell technology and enviable looks
• Ideal solar solution to homes with limited roof space or looking to expand their solar system by adding battery storage for instance. The CELLO technology used in the LG NeON 2 modules increases their efficiency and reliability. It consists of better temperature coefficient in hot weather, 12 wire busbars (whilst conventional PV modules only have 3 or 4), and lower long-term degradation.

Australis Solar is an LG Authorised Solar Platinum Partner.

REC – REC solar

Founded in Norway in 1996, REC Group is the leading European brand for solar panels and has been providing sustainable and high-performance products, services, and investments for the solar industry for over 20 years. 

REC solar panels offer:

• 25 year product warranty
• Innovative split module design with half-cut cells, rather than the standard full size square cells
• Designs that are divided into top and bottom halves and if one half is shaded it won’t affect the output of the other. This makes them more tolerant to partial shade and soiling than many other panels
• Reliability. Internal testing which is twice as stringent as industry standards, only an average of 400 REC panels come back every year out of the 4 million that are manufactured. This is a return rate of just 0.0001%.
