Company History
BYD stands for Build Your Dreams and was founded in 1995. Its headquarters are in Shenzhen, a city of 17.6 million people immediately north of Hong Kong. It is a huge company and solar panel manufacture is only a small part of what it does.
BYD is also a major producer of rechargeable batteries, electric cars, electric buses and trains.
While BYD has been producing solar panels for many years, the company's move into Australia's PV market was relatively short lived - but BYD solar batteries (and of course, EVs) continue to be sold here.
BYD Solar Panels
BYD originally only produced polysilicon panels, which are also known as multisilicon modules. But, like most manufacturers, it then began focusing on monocrystalline technology. BYD was also a pioneer of double glass panels, which have solar cells between two layers of glass instead of having a plastic backsheet.
As at late 2024, there were no BYD panels on the Clean Energy Council's approved modules list. This means new installations won't be eligible for Australia's solar rebate and likely won't get Distributed Network Service Provider (DNSP) grid connection permission.
Warranty Information
BYD solar panels available in Australia offered a 12-year standard product warranty and a performance warranty of 25 years. If you have the company's panels installed and are experiencing problems with them, the first party to contact is your installer, who is responsible for the warranty. If your installer has disappeared, then you'll need to try contacting BYD using the details above.
