About Leapton, Solar Panels

Leapton solar panels review

Leapton Solar is a Japanese solar panel company, but its modules are manufactured in China. In 2019, the firm shipped around 600 megawatts of PV capacity.

The company has expanded its capacity since, with a new factory opening in 2020 bringing annual production capability to 2.15 GW. Leapton isn't stopping there, with capacity to expand again to 3.5 GW in 2022.

Leapton solar panels are backed by a 25 year product warranty. The company has an office in Australia at Port Macquarie in New South Wales, providing local support to Australian customers.

You can find out more about Leapton Solar in our review of the company - and if you have these panels installed, you can add your review and/or rating here.

Update August 11, 2022. There has been some confusion regarding Leapton's presence, support and warranty services in Australia - find out what's happening here.

Leapton Solar Panel Reviews

They are 4 years old hooked up to a growatt 3 phase inverter installed by Solar blu and haven't missed a beat

Research into panels tells me these are great bang for buck. Sure you can get more efficient, but you're better off buying an extra panel. Sure you can get ones that lose efficiency slower... but you're better off buying an extra panel. Sure you can get them made in places other than China, but you're going to have to cough up $$$. A Japanese owned company that makes them in China I think is the best compromise.

This company is a mess. They are currently selling the panel under a company just set up in a new ABN (April 2022) in Australia. They have been changing ABN and name to trade in Australia. It is really difficult to trust this company and ABN will be existing the next 25 years when they offer 25 years warranty. I regret my purchase as I didn’t know they are so NEW in Australia. I do not recommend anyone to this company. The installation is bad too. I had one panel hanging out of the roof ridge and two panels are not install as contracted. The installer keep pushing me to pay the final invoice when I ask them to come back and fix it. They do not want to fix it unless I pay. Really unprofessional. This is a nightmare and the worse purchase decision I ever made….

Chose Risen panels but apparently not available and were replaced with Leapton. When Inverter was being repaired technician was surprised at low power production. He inspected panels and found that optimisers had not been installed. This was remedied as well as moving panels to receive more sunlight.

Facing half N/W and half N/E makes sure I get the best performance all day.

440 W Leapton solar panels were installed. So I needed only 15 panels for the allowable 6.6kW

The entire panel selection process is very confusing to the layman trying to buy a product that you want to last for 25 years. The warranty period is often quoted as some sort of gauge to use for panel selection. It is getting to the point that all panel manufacturer's offer similar terms. One additional perspective also offered is if they have a local office for support. It seems that maybe 1/2 of the panel vendors have a local office now as well. Maybe solar panels are becoming more of a commodity and the provider/installer should select the best for the consumer?

Installation good but they moved forward the installation date so didn't do a site visit beforehand. Their virtual plan layout didn't work and had to adjust the layout on the day. I would encourage others to ensure sunterra do the planning visit first (even though the sales person said the roof plan etc was very easy and they had elected to do e this, they weren't correct, and the installing team would have benefited from someone visiting prior)
