    As you can imagine, creating a solar panel comparison table of this nature and extent was quite a daunting task given the number of brands and models now available, modules being discontinued, prices always changing and technical specification information sometimes difficult to track down.

    Are there panel models missing from this table?

    We update this table frequently as more products and information become available and the specifications and prices of existing solar panels listed change.

    Please note: solar panel prices indicated are our best estimate of retail pricing, including GST, based on available information, unless specifically noted otherwise.

    Also note warranty information was current at the time of adding the model – always check with the manufacturer for the latest warranty information.

    In terms of modern slavery/forced labour, this row indicates if we found the solar panel manufacturer has policies for identifying and addressing these risks. TBD indicates yet to be determined and “failed to respond” indicates our enquiries did not receive a reply. Where provided, in-depth analysis of each panel manufacturer’s statement/policy has not been performed.

    Not sure about what some of the specifications in the table indicate? Pick up some tips on comparing solar panels, or discover more general solar panel information here. Panels are a significant purchase that should benefit you for decades, so it’s important to ensure you choose the right ones for your installation.
