  • Bifacial Modules: Engineered to capture sunlight from both sides, bifacial panels boost energy production especially in reflective environments resulting to added savings for you.
  • Dual Glass Panels: These panels feature double-glass design to resist extreme weather including hail, heat, and humidity. This reliable feature is ideal to suit Australia’s toughest conditions and increase the lifespan of your system.

Product Warranty

Solar Panel Warranties

Solar panel warranties typically come in two forms: product warranty and performance warranty. The product warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship, ensuring the panel remains functional for a set period, usually 15 to 30 years, depending on the manufacturer.

The performance warranty, on the other hand, guarantees that the panel will maintain a certain level of power output over time, often promising at least 80-90% of its original capacity after 25 or 30 years. Together, these warranties provide peace of mind, protecting both the physical integrity and long-term efficiency of your solar investment.

Risks with a Cheap Solar Panel Installation

Choose Wisely

Are there Risks with a Cheap Solar Panel Installation?

You might spot solar PV systems advertised at rock-bottom prices—but how do these providers manage such low figures?

The answer often lies in compromising on installation quality and safety standards. Cutting corners can lead to serious risks for homeowners.

At SolarBright, we frequently remove bargain systems after just four years due to subpar installation and low-grade components.

Cheap solar installations typically skimp on workmanship and panel quality. While you might save $1,000 upfront, the trade-off could be thousands more in lost energy output and a system that fails prematurely. As the saying goes: buy cheap, pay twice.

Cost

How Much Do Solar Panels Cost in Sydney?

The cost of solar systems in Sydney varies depending on system size, brand, and installation factors. In 2025, a typical 6.6kW system from a reputable installer might set you back between $3,00 and $5,000, including high-quality panels with at least 440W output.

For example, 15 panels at 440 watts each give you a 6.6kW setup, perfect for maximizing roof space and energy production. Prices fluctuate with component quality and government rebates, but Sydney’s sunny climate makes it a smart investment for cutting power bills.

Solar Panels FAQs

Here are some of the frequently asked questions about Solar Panels. If you still have any questions, please free to get in touch with us and one of our friendly team members will be happy to help.

  • How do solar panels work?

    Solar panels contain modules made of very thin silicon crystal wafers. When sunlight strikes the silicon wafers it excites the atoms in the silicon releasing electrons and producing electricity. Free power from the sun!

  • Is there a government rebate on solar panels?

    There are incentives in the form of Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STC’s) attached to panels according to the size of the system. in 2025 these are worth about $2,200 for a 6.6kW solar system.

    The NSW government also has incentives available to assist with solar batteries.

  • Do I need to fix or replace my roof before putting on solar panels?

    Solar panels are there for 20 to 30 years so if you have major issues with the roof the answer is yes. If your roof is in decent condition some maintenance before install might be required but not necessary. If you have tiles covered with mildew, we recommend you have the roof cleaned.

  • What is a Tier 1 panel?

    “Tier 1” refers to a financial only ranking scale developed by Bloomberg New Energy Finance Corporation that ranks companies manufacturing solar panels according to their financial stability or “bankability.” It is not a technical ranking of the panels that they manufacture or an indication of panel quality or performance.

  • Are Chinese solar panels any good?

    For sure they are! China is the largest supplier of solar panels in the world. What isn’t made in china these days? Also be aware that you get what you pay for. There are inferior quality panels offered on the market at low prices. You may save $1,000 on the installation cost but it may cost you many times that in lost production due the inferior nature and poor performance of the panels.

    With 11,000 installs over 11-years we obviously choose to supply high quality T1 panels from reputable suppliers as well as other brands that are not made in China. We are an authorised LG solar dealer and offer the LG Solar panels widely acknowledged as the best solar panels available.

  • What is a performance warranty with solar panels?

    The power output of solar panels degrades over time. A solar panel performance warranty is a manufacturers’ warranty that only covers the performance of the panel in terms of power output and how much the panel output degrades over time. It does not cover the panel as a product.  The standard performance warranty is 25-years and most panels degrade over 25 years to around 80% of their original output.

  • Do solar panels require maintenance?

    Making sure the panels are clean is important. As most home solar panels are mounted with the tilt of your roof, they are self-cleaning with rain. If you notice bird droppings or dirty sections on the panels you should organise to have them cleaned and it is a good idea to have the panels cleaned every couple of years.

    Good quality panels like the brands installed by SolarBright will give you trouble free service.

  • Is it worth getting solar panels?

    Yes! Solar panels pay for themselves so are a great investment. Choosing a high-quality solar system from a trusted, licenced, and insured solar installation company such as SolarBright ensures you will have a system that will give you years of trouble-free operation.

  • What is the payback time for solar panels?

    How long it takes to pay off solar depends on the size of the system, the cost, its power production and your consumption patterns – that is, how much of the electricity generated by the system that you consume in your home rather than export to the grid. Your SolarBright consultant can work through the numbers for your system with you to estimate your payback time.

    In broad terms a 6.6kW system in NSW will produce nearly 9,600kWh of power per year according to the Clean Energy Council (CEC) guidelines. If you consume 65% of the power generated at a power cost of 29c/kWh and export the balance to the grid at a feed in tariff of 10c/kWh the system can generate savings of $1,200 per year for you.

  • What is the largest solar panel system I can put on my house?

    This depends on whether you have a single phase or three phase electrical system. Under CEC guidelines single phase homes are limited to a 5kW inverter which supports a maximum size solar system of 6.6kW. Three phase household electrical systems support larger solar installations. We have customers who install 20 and 30kW systems to cover the power needs of larger properties.

  • What size solar system do I need?

    Normally 6.6kW to 8.4kW sized solar panel system will suit most families. Your SolarBright consultant will look at your power bill and consumption patterns and assess what size system will suit your situation. Generally, these days solar is so affordable that sometimes you should just fit as many panels as you can because of the small price difference.

  • I want to be completely power bill free.

    A combination of a correctly sized solar system and solar battery can reduce your bill to nearly zero.  The majority of solar systems installed are grid connected so even if the solar covers all of your power requirements your energy provider will still be charging you a network access fee and the feed in tariff from your power exports may cover that.

  • Do solar panels work in a blackout?

    A standard grid connected solar system will not supply your home with power during a blackout. A solar system with a correctly optioned and configured battery can protect you from blackouts. If you want protection from blackouts talk to your SolarBright consultant about battery options for your solar system.
