System Performance

Over 30 plus years, a little matters a lot

Much like interest rates affect a home loan, slight variances in performance can heavily influence returns over the long term of a solar system's working life span.

High quality, high returns

Buying poor quality panels is a gamble

Choose your solar panels carefully. Cheap, poor quality panels may greatly affect your solar investment, and in the worst circumstances create a fire hazard.

Faults known as "hot spots" are the degradation of silicon which in turn creates arcs and short circuits within the panel. Hot spots greatly reduce the life span of your panels and also create a potential fire hazard. The occurance of hot spots is greatly increased by poor quality silicon and low manufacturing standards.

All Ausenergy PV Gen systems are comprised of the highest quality panels which meet or exceed international specifications for manufacturing quality and saftey. All PV Gen system panels are proven technology and work safely, consistently, and have 20-25 year manufacturer warranties.
