Finn's Sunpro Power Panels Review & Verdict
Finn Peacock has been a Chartered Electrical Engineer since 1998, and is ex-CSIRO
With a poorly organised website and little feedback from local installers and customers in Australia, I’ll take a hard pass on making a judgement on Sunpro Power solar panels at this point, but they look geared towards the budget end of the market.
In the absence of a solid track record here for residential applications, I couldn’t recommend them to a friend. For budget-friendly modules, see my recommended solar panel brands chart.
Sunpro Power Panels: Pros & Cons
- Main website leaves a lot to be desired, and the Australian website is worse.

After its 2008 founding, Sunpro had built its production capacity to 50MW by the following year, which is tiny by today's standards. In 2014, the firm moved to a new plant with 300MW annual output, and boosted potential output to 500MW in 2018. Today, the firm claims 2GW+ module capacity.
As well as manufacturing solar cells and modules, Sunpro is also engaged in solar project development and investment.
Sunpro Power Residential Solar Panels
Sunpro's main web site is a bit of a mess (the Australian version even worse), but it appears their panels most suitable for Australian installations (and currently CEC approved) are the SPDG-N108M10 series, available in wattages of 410W - 440W.
These are bifacial panels, meaning they can also harvest reflected sunlight from the back - and therefore not a particularly useful feature for most home installations. But the wattage ratings mentioned above are for the front side of the panels, so anything extra is a bit of a bonus.
SPDGxxx-N108M10 modules use TOPCon technology and n-type cells, and feature double glass and a black frame. The panels measure 1722 x 1134 x 30mm, and they weigh 23.3 kg; which is quite hefty among panels for this capacity.
Conversion efficiencies range from 21% to 22.53% and the temperature coefficient of Pmax is noted as -0.30%/°C. The operating temperature of this series is -40°C ~ +85°C.
You can compare these specifications with a wide selection of modules from better-known brands in Australia on SolarQuotes' solar panel comparison table.
Warranty Information
Sunpro offers a 25-year product warranty for the SPDGxxx-N108M10 according to the datasheet, but the warranty documentation for Australia indicates 30 years. There's also a 30-year performance warranty, committing to a minimum 89.4% power output at 25 years and 87.4% at year 30.
