Finn's Luxen Solar Panels Review & Verdict

Finn Peacock has been a Chartered Electrical Engineer since 1998, and is ex-CSIRO

Luxen Solar is one of those companies that have been on the Australian scene for quite some time but haven’t had much of an impact on residential solar here. And given they don’t have an office in Australia, which I think is crucial for after-sales and warranty support in most cases, I don’t recommend them. See solar panel brands I do recommend.

Luxen Solar Panels: Pros & Cons

  • Good temperature coefficienct

  • No Australian office

More Luxen Details

Luxen's first automated production line was established in 2015 and the company introduced N-type TOPCon cell modules in 2022. Its total annual production capacity is 3 GW, but it has a goal of adding another 7 GW by 2026 - and good luck with that given the insanely low prices of modules as at late 2024.

The company claims to have delivered 6GW of panels in total, and it currently has around 500 employees.

Luxen Solar Panels In Australia

There doesn't appear to be too many good-quality installers offering Luxen Solar panels in Australia these days, but the Clean Energy Councils lists around 18 models approved for use here as at late 2024. Most of these appear to be for commercial and large-scale applications; so we'll just focus on those suitable for residential rooftops.

N5 (LNVB) Series

These are mono bifacial 108-cell TOPCon panels available in front-face capacities of 430W, 435W and 440W. Measuring 1722 x 1134 x 30mm and weighing 23.5kg, these panels have a temperature coefficient of Pmax of -0.29%ºC, which is quite good. They have an operating temperature range of -40C to +85C.

Given they are bifacial, they have glass front and back. The thickness of the glass is 2mm, which is better than some bifacial modules that only have 1.6mm sheets.

N5 (LNDX) Series

Another mono bifacial module, the LNDX line has 96 half-cut G12R N-TYPE cells and offers front-face capacities of 445W, 450W and 455W; with module efficiency up to 22.77%. These are a slightly larger module at 1762 x 1134 x 30mm and a bit heavier at 24kg. Temperature range, coefficient and glass thickness is the same as the LNVB. 

Warranty Information

Luxen offers a 15 - 20 year product warranty depending on the model. There's also a 30-year performance warranty whereby during the first year, Luxen Solar guarantees the actual power output of the module will be no less than 99% of the labeled power output. From year 2 to year 30, the annual power decline will be no more than 0.40 %. By the end of year 30, power output will be no less than 87.4% of the panel's nameplate power output.

Bear in mind the company does not have an office in Australia. If you have any warranty issues, you should first contact your installer.

View Timeline

One of my panels cracked inside of warranty period. Luxen have refused to even come and look at it. Fist lodged my claim on 10th of February and it is now almost May and I STILL have not heard from luxen and neither has the installer. I Would not recommend luxen panels if after install care and warranty is important to you.
