Benefits of Using Premium Quality Solar Panels on the Sunshine Coast
When it comes to solar panels, quality matters. When researching local solar companies Sunshine Coast customers should ensure they use premium quality products. At Logic Solar, we only provide mid to high tier products for every domestic and commercial solar installation, ensuring reliable long term performance. Below, we look at why premium quality solar panels matter.
Performance
When shopping for cheaper solar panels Sunshine Coast customers can often find they promote having the same wattage, appearance and features as good quality panels. Unfortunately, however, they aren’t as powerful. This is because the components used in solar panels matter for essential processes like converting captured photons into electrons as efficiently.
For example, a cheap solar panel can be 20.5% efficient whereas the better quality panels can be 22.8% efficient in terms of converting that percentage of light. As these percentages are quite low, the difference can be quite marked over time.
Degradation Rates
Cheaper components and poor craftsmanship also mean cheap solar panels degrade much faster, especially in harsh Australian climates. High levels of sunlight and temperature along with proximity to the beach and exposure to salt mist cause poor quality solar panels to quickly deteriorate. This is often reflected in the warranty.
Cheaper solar panels tend to have a maximum 15 year warranty, whereas all solar panels stocked at Logic Solar offer a minimum 25 year warranty. The best panels on the market, such as the Sunpower Maxeon 6, carry a 40 year product and performance warranty. Our mid range recommended panels degrade by 0.55% p.a. This means at year 25 performance is still 84.8% of the original performance output.
Supply Chain Ethics
There are mounting concerns according to the Clean Energy Council regarding links between renewable energy supply chains to modern slavery and forced labour. There are particular concerns raised about products coming from China, Africa and South America. By investing in premium quality solar panels, you can eliminate the risk of using cheap products that come from unethical supply chains.
Warranty Support and Certifications
At Logic Solar, all of our recommended manufacturers have an Australian based support office. Any product we use for a domestic or commercial solar panel installation is on the Clean Energy Council and Clean Energy Regulator approved product list. This means they comply with the highest Australian Electrical Standards.
Being on the approved product list is essential in order to get approval for government rebates. For example, you can save $2,774 off the price of a 6.6kW solar system. All of our recommended brands carry certification ensuring they meet strict testing standards for corrosion resistance, hail, waterproofing, fire and extreme temperatures.
