Hareon Solar was a Chinese PV manufacturer that was established in 2004 and disappeared around 2019.
Company Info
Hareon Solar Technology Co Ltd was based in Jiangsu, a coastal Chinese province north of Shanghai.
Hareon was a vertically integrated manufacturer. This means that the entire production chain, starting from the research and development stage, was managed in-house as well as the manufacturing process of mono and polycrystalline ingots, wafers and solar cells.
But after nearly 15 years, the business came crashing down. At the end of 2018, Hareon filed an application for bankruptcy liquidation of its main manufacturing subsidiary, which had been unable to pay off its debt. Hareon Solar had also accumulated significant amounts of debt, and its website went dark in 2019.
Hareon had a formal presence in Australia, but it was hit with a winding up order in 2019. Interestingly, Hareon Solar Australia Pty Ltd is still listed as registered in ASIC's database as at February 2025, and the ABN is still active.
Hareon Solar Panels In Australia
At one stage, Hareon supplied dozens of polycrystalline and monocrystalline solar panel models to Australian customers. As well as conventional panels, Hareon offered AC modules here at one point that had a SolarBridge microinverter installed on the back.
The novelty (and otherwise) value of the AC panels aside, Hareon's products were nothing to get overly excited about. It was just another of dozens of Chinese manufacturers that offered fairly ordinary panels here in the 2010's - and another one to go bust.
Warranty Details
Hareon's product warranty was 12 or 25 years, depending on the product. The company also offered a 25 performance warranty. There may be Hareon solar panels installed in Australia still covered under warranty. Your best bet if you have a warranty claim is to contact the Australian company address registered with ASIC (we don't have those details at hand). But first try contacting the party you purchased the system from, as they still have warranty responsibility even if a company is no longer actively manufacturing products, or has disappeared entirely.

The banks are tilted at 15, 20 and 25 degrees respectfully. The panels are installed on aluminium frames on a flat roof and ARE adjustable.
I have been reading/researching a bit about tilt of panels for optimum power generation and think I should probably tilt them up more to get the better benefit during winter as I was feeding almost as much as I was using back to the grid during summer.
I don't recall anything being discussed or documented about the tilt of the banks before or during installation.
I have yet to contact the installer to discuss the options on this.

My supposedly 4500 watt system seldom reaches peak output!

Our first 2 Electricity bills since installation have pleased us immensely with the cost reduction - possibly more than expected. Since the supplier installed a 4KW inverter, we could/should add another 1KW of panels (4) and would achieve even more savings.
