A lot of people are wary of Chinese solar panels. China doesnt exactly cover itself in glory with some of the low quality junk it manufactures. But, as I have said many times before, China also produces some fantastic quality stuff.
Need examples? I bet the device you are reading this blog on was made in the Peoples Republic. The Macbook Pro I am writing it on certainly was and it is impeccably put together (the laptop not the blog!).
And it is the same with solar panels. There is some absolute junk coming out of China, that will be lucky to last a few years in the Aussie sun. Ive heard first hand stories of Aussies visiting suppliers who have converted clothes factories to solar panel factories. The bottom end panels in these factories are made from B or C grade solar cells which the other factories have rejected, and their environmental standards are horrendous.
At the other end of the scale, you have some first class solar panels coming out of gleaming factories in China with world class quality control in operation, and environmental standards as good as any western plant. Ive heard Renesola and Yingli, among others, have very impressive Chinese factories. Their panels are certainly excellent.
Of course, a lot of wary consumers are making sure they get quality by simply demanding panels made elsewhere, like Germany, Australia or Malaysia etc. The downside of this strategy, of course is that you will be paying extra dollars for non-chinese panels. Extra dollars that a lot of householders would prefer not to spend!
How do you know if a Chinese panel is any good?
So if you dont want to pay a premium for non-Chinese panels, you are in a bit of a bind. How on earth are you meant to know if the panels you have been quoted are junk cobbled together in an ex-trouser factory with toxic effluent pouring straight into the local waterway or top quality panels with expert engineering and QA behind them?
Well, the safest way has always been to go for a genuine Tier 1 panel. The problem here is that some sales people out there will swear on their mothers life that the Tier 3 junk they are selling is really Tier 1 (usually because they have given it a German sounding name like Mettwurst Solar). How do you know the truth?
Well the first thing to understand is that there is no definitive list of Tier 1 solar panels in Australia. But here are the ones that I think deserve to be Tier 1. If you think Ive missed any worthy manufacturers off feel free to abuse me in the comment section for my ignorance:
Chinese Manufacturers classed as Tier 1 in Australia (in my humble opinion)
Again, if you think Ive missed anyone off unfairly let me know in the comments!
If you want to be ultra-safe choose a Chinese panel on that list.
Butthere are still good Chinese panels which are not on that list, and they may be much cheaper, potentially saving you thousands on your solar system. Identifying those from the 600- Chinese manufacturers that should not be touched with a bargepole has always been a challenge. Until now?
Enter the Chinese Government
In early January () those fun guys in the Chinese Government released a list of Chinese solar panel manufacturers that they approved of. What does approved of mean? Well, the Chinese pollies assure us that theyve had an expert review of over 500 companies and assessed them on solar panel manufacturing norms and conditions such as:
- the amount of cells converted to panels
- minimum manufacturing capacities
- ingot and wafer quality
- environmental conditions at the factories
They ended up with a list of 109 battery, silicon and panel manufacturers who they approve. The companies on the list will be eligible for government support, export tax rebates and can bid on government tenders. The implication from the Chinese Ministry is that if you aint on the list you may not last much longer! It sounds to me like a move by China to cull the Chinese panel oversupply and stop the relentless downward march of panel prices over the last 5 years.
Now, the keen readers that downloaded the list liked to back there will have already realised that it is all written in Chinese!
Luckily I have a friend I can call on who can translate Chinese to English fairly well. Her name is Google Translate. When I ran the list through her and filtered out the battery and silicon producers I got this list:
- Zhejiang and Zhejiang Yuhui Solar Energy Co., Ltd
- Zhejiang Chint Solar Technology Co., Ltd. ( cells, modules )
- Zhe Jiang Qixin New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. ( cells, modules )
- Yingli Energy ( China ) Co., Ltd. ( silicon ingots, silicon ingots , wafers, cells, modules )

- CEEG ( Shanghai ) Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. ( Components )
- Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd. ( ingots, wafers , cells, modules )
- AD Solar Co., Ltd. ( cells, modules )
Ive bolded some of the better known brands imported into Australia there.
Now you may be wondering where the all the Tier 1 Chinese manufacturers are on that 2nd list. Well I pinged a few of them to ask. The only one to get back to me was Renesola who replied:
We submitted our name as ReneSola Zhejiang, however during the application process the following name was entered onto the list. Zhejiang and Zhejiang Yuhui Solar Energy Co., Ltd
And the same is most likely true for the other Tier 1 suppliers their factory name is probably very different to their global brand.
So if you are a bit of a bargain hunter and you want to do your research on a Chinese panel that is not Tier 1, I suggest you look for the company name on the panel spec sheet or on the web (or ask your installer). If it matches one of the companies on the second list, that is a sign that the company is probably one of the better Chinese solar panel producers.
But, if you really want to play it safe with Chinese panels, the simplest way to be sure that they are good quality is simply to insist on one of the brands in the first list.
And if you think there are good Chinese panels not covered in those lists feel free to harangue me in the comments!

Why switch to Solar Inverters?
Solar inverters are rapidly replacing generator sets (petrol, diesel, kerosene, and all other types of gen sets) as the preferred backup power supply option. Solar inverters are being used as (alternative) power sources by households, industrial factories and facilities, commercial companies, educational institutions, restaurants, and all other businesses.
This is understandable given the numerous advantages solar inverters have over other available power alternatives (such as generators) simple maintenance, no exhaust fumes, silent operation, portability, pollution-free operation, cost-effectiveness, and so on.
Solar inverters convert direct electric current from solar panels to alternating current, which is then used by electronic and electrical appliances.

What is a Solar System?
A solar system is an arrangement that uses solar energy to create electricity. A typical solar system includes of-
- solar panels - which collect sunlight
- solar inverter - which converts DC to AC
A mounting frame - which holds the panels in place
Batteries - which store excess electricity
A grid box
system balancing (wires, nuts etc.).
All solar power systems operate on the same fundamental principles. Solar panels use the photovoltaic (PV) effect to convert solar energy or sunlight into direct current (DC) power. The DC electricity may either be stored in a battery or transformed into AC power by a solar converter, which can then be utilised to power household appliances. Excess solar energy can be delivered into the power grid for credits or stored in a number of different battery storage devices, depending on the kind of installation. A solar system can be 1 kWh, 2 kWh, 3kW, 5kW, 7.5 kW, or 10kW in size. On an average a house with monthly electricity consumption of kWh requires 26 30 solar panels (Each solar panel is of 320 watt).
The three main types of solar system are-
On-grid - also known as a grid-tie or grid-feed solar system
2. Off-grid - also known as a stand-alone power system (SAPS)
3. Hybrid - grid-connected solar system with battery storage
What is an Off-Grid Solar System?
Off-grid solar systems operate independently of the grid but include batteries that can store the solar power generated and supply electricity after the power goes off or during the night.
The Main Parts Of An Off-Grid System
- Solar Panels
- DC-AC grid-tied solar inverter
- Solar cables
- Mounts
- Charge Controller
- Battery Bank
- A Connected Load
Off-grid solar systems must be properly built in order to generate enough electricity throughout the year and have enough battery capacity to satisfy the needs of the residents, even in the dead of winter when there is often significantly less sunshine.
How does an off-grid solar system work?
An off-grid solar system is significantly more sophisticated than regular solar systems, but that complexity allows it to accomplish a lot more. Most people who build an off-grid solar system want to use solar to meet all of their energy demands. That implies they'd be completely self-sufficient. As a result, many of these systems are typically found in more isolated regions where access to electricity is difficult.
A solar panel, a solar inverter, a battery, and system balancing are the four major components of an off-grid solar system. The panels, like typical systems, catch sunlight and transfer it to an inverter, which converts the energy into power. Finally, it is sent to a battery inverter, where the energy is stored until needed. A charge controller is required if you wish to run DC applications (12V), such as fans and lights. If you wish to operate AC appliances (220V), you'll need an inverter to convert the DC voltage to the AC voltage. Nowadays, all inverters operate automatically, which means that the electricity generated by the solar system charges batteries and immediately powers appliances. In addition, in the event of a power outage, batteries directly power appliances.
Off-Grid Solar System types- AC or DC coupled types-
Off-grid systems can be powered by either AC or DC connected power sources. Common AC-coupled generating sources include solar inverters, wind turbines, and backup generators (gen-sets), whereas DC-coupled sources include MPPT solar charge controllers and micro-hydro systems.
The size of the system determines whether the system is AC or DC linked. The majority of small-scale systems under 6kW are DC linked and employ efficient MPPT solar charge controllers. Larger off-grid systems can be AC or DC linked, depending on the kind of inverter-charger utilised and compatibility with various solar inverters (AC) or solar charge controllers (DC). Most current multi-mode inverters may be both AC and DC linked, resulting in a very secure, flexible power system with numerous charging choices and the ability to perform a black-start operation if the primary inverter fails, the backup generator fails, or the batteries are exhausted.
Small DIY Off-Grid Systems-
MPPT solar charge controllers, also known as solar regulators, are used in small-scale off-grid solar systems and DIY systems used on caravans, boats, tiny residences, and cottages. They are linked between the solar panel/s and battery. The charge controller's function is to ensure that the battery is charged appropriately and, more critically, that it is not overcharged. The load output terminals on most modest 12V/24V solar charge controllers are frequently utilised for basic DC lighting circuits. Simple 'plug-in' type inverters are used in modest DIY systems to provide 240V or 120V AC power. These are available in a variety of capacities, ranging from modest 150W inverters to W or greater.
Important factors to consider when estimating off-grid solar systems-
Daily average energy consumption (kWh) - Summer and winter
Peak load (kW) - The maximum amount of electricity used by loads.
Average continuous load (kW)
Solar exposure - Location, climate, orientation & shading
Options for backup power - During inclement weather or a power outage
The primary battery inverter-charger, often known as a multi-mode inverter since it can typically function in both off-grid and on-grid modes, is the fundamental component of an off-grid power system.
How can you calculate an off-grid solar system?
This system can power most home appliances, including fans, televisions, coolers, air conditioners, and water pumps. A 1 kW off-grid solar system, for example, is sufficient for a 2-4 BHK house. However, if you also wish to power a 1HP water pump in your home, a 3 kW off-grid solar system might be used. If you intend to use an air conditioner, a 5 kW solar system is recommended. For business applications such as a store, clinic, or small mill, a 10 kW off-grid solar system should be utilised.
It is the most prevalent sort of backup solar power system. It operates both during the day and at night. During the day, the solar panel charges the battery and powers household equipment such as air conditioners, coolers, televisions, and submersible pumps. When the sun isn't shining, the inverter uses battery power to power your household appliances.
The main advantage of using an off-grid system is that it has no dependency on government electricity power. But is more expensive than an on-grid solar system.
What is the difference between an off-grid and on-grid solar system?
The main differences between off-grid and on-grid solar systems are-
An Off-Grid solar system will continue to operate even if power is lost, however, an On-Grid system would not.
A grid-connected solar system is less costly than an off-grid solar system.
An off-grid solar energy system is not tied to the utility grid, but an on-grid (also known as grid-tied) solar energy system is.
If your PV system is not connected to the grid, you will not receive an electric bill. Even though your solar system generates 100 percent of your power, if you choose a grid-tied system, you may still notice a few minor costs on your electricity statement.
How much would an off grid solar system cost?
Off-grid solar systems are available in a variety of sizes for a variety of purposes, including small homes, 2-3 floor homes, shops, offices, schools, warehouses, and more. The lowest range of an off grid solar system is 500W, the average range is 1kW, and the maximum range can range from 3kW to 10kW. Simply said, the cost of a 1kW off-grid Solar System with a Single Battery (12V) is around Rs. 80,000, whereas the cost of a 1kW Off Grid Solar System with a Double Battery (24V) is approximately Rs. 100,000. The cost of any solar system is determined by factors such as technology, brand, service, and warranty.
What are the latest technology trends in solar inverters
There are two types of solar inverters, 1) PWM Based relatively low efficiency, and 2) MPPT Based high efficiency
PWM Based It stands for a pulse with modulation; these inverters are inefficient yet inexpensive. PWM-based inverters are ideal for minor uses such as operating 3-4 fans, 8-10 lights, 1-2 televisions, and 1 refrigerator during the day and night.
solar Hybrid inverter MPPT Based It is an abbreviation for Maximum power point tracking. If the goal of your solar investment is to save money on your utility bills, MPPT-based inverters are the way to go.
People also ask -
Can off grid solar system work without batteries?
The answer is no, off grid solar power plants require batteries to store electricity.
How does an off-grid solar system connect?
How to build an off grid solar system:
Determine your power needs.
Pick the right site.
Choose your components.
Build the battery house.
Install the panels.
Wire up the system.
Enjoy your free power!
How much solar power do I need to go off the grid?
The average off-grid home usually requires about 7 Kw (or Watts) of power to rely entirely on its own energy production. Solar panels come in various forms, shapes and sizes.
Can I go completely off-grid with solar panels?
For grid-tied solar panels, grid failure means solar failure, so without more, solar panels can't take you off grid. Even if they could work while the grid were down, you would still have a big problem: since solar panels only generate electricity during the day, you would be left in the dark all night.
Can I Run My Whole House on Solar Energy?
With a modern solar energy system, including power storage, you can definitely run a whole house completely on solar power. Today's high-efficiency solar panels and solar batteries make it cheaper than ever before to power an entire home exclusively using solar energy.
Which is better on grid or off-grid solar?
The biggest downfall of an on-grid system is that it does not provide power during a grid outage. Off-grid systems allow you to store and save your solar power in batteries for use when the power grid goes down. It is meant to be entirely self-sustaining.
What are the advantages of using grid connected solar PV system?
The main advantage of a grid connected PV system is its simplicity, relatively low operating and maintenance costs as well as reduced electricity bills. The disadvantage however is that a sufficient number of solar panels need to be installed to generate the required amount of excess power.

Does solar panel work at night?
Technically, no. Solar panels do not produce energy at night. The photovoltaic cells in solar panels must have sunlight to create electricity.
How much solar power do I need to go off the grid?
The average off-grid home usually requires about 7 Kw (or Watts) of power to rely entirely on its own energy production. Solar panels come in various forms, shapes and sizes.
Which is better on grid or off-grid solar?
The biggest downfall of an on-grid system is that it does not provide power during a grid outage. Off-grid systems allow you to store and save your solar power in batteries for use when the power grid goes down. It is meant to be entirely self-sustaining.
Can we run off-grid solar system without battery?
Can off grid solar system work without batteries? The answer is no, off grid solar power plant require batteries to store electricity.
How many batteries do I need for a watt solar system?
50% of your battery should be Wh. A Wh battery is the same as a ballpark figure. Divide your battery voltage to convert that to hours.
How many batteries do I need to go off-grid?
If you want to keep the power on when the grid is down, you'll usually just need one solar battery. If you want to go off-grid completely, you'll need far more storage capacity, more along the lines of 8-12 batteries
How many solar panels do I need to run a window unit?
Large window unit: Since the large window unit usually uses between 1,800 and 2,500 watts per hour, you will have to install at least 2kW of solar panel energy to cool your house. To completely power the air conditioning in your home, you should install 20 x 10W solar panels.
How much do solar panels cost?
Solar panels cost, on average, about $16,000, or between $3,500 to $35,000 depending on the type and model. While solar panels can help save you money on energy costs, it's important to know the overall startup solar panel costs so you can plan a budget.
How many solar panels do I need for a w inverter?
8 solar panels
Anyway, to make up a 2kW Solar System you need 8 solar panels, assuming that you use 250W panels (370W panels are a little larger, but you don't need as many of them). Each panel will be about 1.6m x 1m, so you'll need at least 13m2 of roof space.
How many batteries do I need to power a w inverter?
For a -watt inverter, the number of batteries you need depends on their amperes per hour. For example, the average car battery has a 50Ah rating. If the battery banks you want to purchase are also 50Ah, you will need six of them for a -watt inverter.
How many solar panels do I need for a sq ft home?
12-18 solar panels
So, a 2,000 square foot home would be allowed a solar array of 4,000 watts. Depending on the type of panel that you choose, a system of this size would be anywhere from 12-18 solar panels. Keep in mind, this formula to calculate consumption varies depending on who produces your electricity.
How many batteries do I need for off grid solar?
If you want to keep the power on when the grid is down, you'll usually just need one solar battery. If you want to go off-grid completely, you'll need far more storage capacity, more along the lines of 8-12 batteries.
How many solar panels does it take to run a house off-grid?
Most data suggests that a typical American home (2,000 square feet home) consumes approximately 11,000 kilowatt-hours annually. So, when we divide our total consumption by the expected output of one solar panel, we see that roughly thirteen solar panels of this size would be enough to power a home of that size.
Do solar panels work in a blackout?
The only way for your solar panels to continue generating power during a blackout is solar battery storage. Today, more and more utility companies are seeing the importance of solar storage and are finding ways to incorporate more renewable energy into their infrastructure
