Not all solar products are equal. SimpliSolar exclusively installs Tier 1 solar panels, premium inverters, and proven battery storage brands — selected for performance, reliability, and warranty support in Australia.
Why It Matters
Bloomberg NEF's "Tier 1" classification identifies solar manufacturers that are financially bankable — meaning they have the financial stability to honour a 25-year warranty. SimpliSolar only installs Tier 1 panels because a warranty from a company that no longer exists is worthless.
A 25-year panel warranty is only valuable if the manufacturer is still in business. Tier 1 manufacturers have the financial scale and stability to support warranties decades into the future.
All panels and inverters SimpliSolar installs are selected for STC rebate eligibility, so your system can qualify for the federal small-scale renewable energy rebate.
All brands we supply have Australian offices or authorised distributors with local technical support teams. If you have a product issue, you are not navigating overseas warranty processes.
All brands on our approved list have a proven track record in Australian conditions — including coastal salt air, high UV exposure, and extreme summer temperatures common in Sydney and NSW.
Solar Panels
We source panels from three Tier 1 manufacturers — all with 25-year performance warranties and Australian warranty support.
One of the world's largest solar manufacturers with 22+ years of operation. Canadian Solar's HiKu and BiKu range offers high efficiency (21–22.5%) with a proven 25-year performance warranty. Widely regarded as the best value-for-money Tier 1 option in Australia.
A top-5 global solar manufacturer with over 18 years in operation and 100GW+ of panels shipped worldwide. JA Solar's DeepBlue series panels offer excellent low-light performance — important for Sydney's morning and evening generation during winter months.
Norwegian-heritage manufacturer (now Reliance-owned) with a premium reputation for quality and longevity. REC's Alpha and TwinPeak series are popular in the premium residential segment with higher efficiency and a strong track record in Australia's harsh conditions.
Inverters
The inverter is the heart of your solar system — responsible for converting DC power from panels into usable AC power for your home. We use four proven brands matched to system size and application.
Austrian manufacturer with a reputation for exceptional reliability. The Fronius Primo and Symo range are among the most reliable inverters in Australia with the lowest field failure rates. Standard 5-year warranty, extendable to 10.
DC-optimised inverter with panel-level monitoring and shade tolerance. Ideal for complex roof configurations, partially shaded roofs, or customers wanting detailed per-panel performance data. 12-year standard warranty.
China's largest and most exported inverter manufacturer with a strong presence in Australia. Sungrow's hybrid inverter range offers excellent value, battery compatibility, and a 10-year warranty as standard.
A premium mid-market inverter brand with strong hybrid capabilities and competitive pricing. GoodWe's EHB and ET series hybrid inverters are well-regarded for battery integration and are covered by a 5-year standard warranty.
Battery Storage
All battery systems we install are eligible for the Cheaper Home Batteries Program rebate (up to $1,600) and carry 10-year warranties.
Australian-preferred home battery brand with a strong local support network. The Smile5 and Storion SMILE range offer 5–30kWh of usable storage, a 10-year warranty, and one of the highest round-trip efficiencies on the market (95%+).
The SBH series battery pairs seamlessly with Sungrow's hybrid inverters for a fully integrated energy management system. Simple to expand with additional battery modules as your storage needs grow. 10-year warranty standard.
GoodWe's Lynx Home F series battery is a modular, scalable storage option compatible with GoodWe and third-party inverters. 10kWh base unit, expandable to 30kWh. 10-year warranty with remote monitoring included.
