Company Information
Leapton Energy was founded in 2012 in Kobe, Japan and opened a Chinese factory in 2015 in Jiangyin City in Jiangsu Province. In 2017 Leapton built a second solar panel factory in Changshu, Jiangsu.
Leapton Solar panels were first approved for use in Australia by the Clean Energy Council in October 2018. As at December 2024, the company claimed an annual production capacity of 3GW.
Leapton Australia Saga
Around mid-2022, an odd message appeared on what was the Australian Leapton website at the time. To cut a long story short, Leapton Energy in Japan told us the company operating that website had Leapton’s logo and trademark authorisation terminated in July that year. The spurned company wasn't happy with the situation, and Leapton wasn't happy with what that company stated on the now rebel website. As at late 2024, that website is still operational. You can read more about what happened here.
Leapton Solar Panels
Leapton has a bunch of solar panels models listed by the CEC; but we'll just focus on a few that are suitable for residential rooftop installations.
LP182*182-M-54-NB-54
These are dual glass bifacial N-type TOPCon solar panels available in front-face wattages of 420W - 440W. Measuring 1762mm*1134mm*30mm, the modules weigh 25kg. The LP182*182-M-54-NB-54 series have efficiencies up to 22.02% and a temperature coefficient of 0.30%/°C. The panels have an operating temperature of -45°C~+85°C
LP182*210-M-48-NB
Also a bifacial TOPCon panel, the LP182*210-M48-NB is available in 435W-450W and has the same dimensions as the modules above. The only real difference appears to be the use of 182*210mm cells as opposed to 182*182mm.
LP182*182-M-54-NH
The LP182*182-M-54-NH is a monofacial panel with N-Type TOPCon cells and is available in 430 - 450W. At 1722mm*1134mm*30mm, these are slightly smaller than the bifacial panels and signficantly lighter too at 21kg. Conversion efficiencies range from 22.02% to 23.04% and the temperature coefficient of Pmax is -0.30%/°C
Warranty Details
All the panels noted above are backed by a 25 year product warranty and 30 year performance warranty, with a minimum 87.4% of original capacity warranted at the end of year 30.
