Company Info
In 1992, a team was put together at Samsung Electronics to work on PV technology, with solar panel production starting in 1994. This represented the first solar panel supply in the Taiwanese market.
In 2001, S-Energy was established. In 2007, it was the first PV company listed on the KOSDAQ - a trading board of Korea Exchange (KRX). S-Energy commenced overseas sales of panels in 2008. When S-Energy panels first arrived in Australia isn't clear, but we were considered one of the company's major markets.
S-Energy Solar Panels In Australia
While S-Energy still appears to be going strong and indicated on its website in April 2025 it currently offers Clean Energy Council approved solar panels, we couldn't find those modules on the CEC's list. A CEC listing is necessary for Australia's national solar rebate, some state incentives and grid connection permission.
S-Energy panels once available in Australia that were previously on the CEC approved list were the SM range. These were polycrystalline panels with 0~+5W positive power sorting, salt mist corrosion resistance, and better hail resistance than many competitors.
Available in the 245 ~ 260 Watt range, SM panels measured 1665 mm x 999 mm x 50 mm - 10mm thicker than most modules. These modules weighed 20 kg.
Warranty Details
S-Energy SM panels had a 10-year limited product warranty and a 25-year performance warranty. The performance warranty stipulated a first year minimum peak power output of 97%, a maximum annual power decline of 0.7% from years 2 - 24, and a peak power output in the 25th year no less than 80.2%.
S-Energy once had an office in Meadowbank, Queensland - but that is no more. If you have a warranty claim for S-Energy SM panels, first try contacting the party that supplied and installed them for you as this remains their responsibility. Failing that, get in touch with S-Energy HQ to find out next steps.
Solar panels have come a long way since S-Energy SM modules were available in Australia. Discover how to choose the best solar panels for your home.
