Opal Solar Panels In Australia
In early 2021 Opal panels were selling at a cost per watt that was a little under Jinko Solar, which is usually the price leader for tier one panels. But Opal had an advantage of having a product warranty backed by a company based in Australia rather than one backed by a company based in China; although Jinko multiple offices and warehouses in Australia.
But on March 1, 2021, The Clean Energy Council (CEC) announced the OSO range of Opal panels from Solar Juice Pty Ltd would be de-listed from its approved products list on 10 March 2021 due to a failure to meet the specified power rating in CEC testing. This situation meant that past this date, new system installations using the OSO range of Opal panels were not be eligible for Australia's solar rebate.
Warranty Procedure For Orphaned Opal Customers
Opal Solar panels were accompanied by a 10 year product warranty and a 25 year performance warranty.
If you have purchased Opal Solar panels from a solar installer who has since gone out of business, the responsibility for warranty claims shifts to Solar Juice, who are the importer. Their customer service line in Australia is 02 9725 1111. Solar Juice have previously advised that they will walk customers through the warranty claim procedure, and that labor costs involved with panel replacement are not covered under warranty.
