Sunflare installs two panel brands. JinKO Solar N-Type TOPCon and Q CELLS. Both are tier-one manufacturers with bankable 25-year warranties. Which one goes on your roof depends on your orientation, shading profile, and usage pattern. Sunflare makes that call for you โ one recommendation, with the output figures and annual saving calculation shown before you commit.
P: A correctly specified 6.6kW solar panel installation Victoria on a north-facing roof generates 24 to 26 kWh daily. Solar Victoria rebate up to $1,400 and federal STC discount both applied upfront. The number on your quote is the number on your invoice.

JinKO Solar
JinKO Solar is the world’s largest solar panel manufacturer by volume, with over 1.3 billion panels shipped globally. Founded in 2006 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, JinKO Solar operates 11 manufacturing bases and 24 global sales offices. In Australia, JinKO Solar has an established warranty service process and a documented local claims history.
ย
JinKO Solar N-Type TOPCon is the current generation of monocrystalline solar cell technology. N-Type cells carry a lower annual degradation rate than standard PERC panels. In practical terms for a Victorian home, your system’s output in year 10 is closer to its year-one output than a PERC system. The low-light response means your system starts generating before 8am on a winter Melbourne morning.
ย
Sunflare specifies JinKO Solar N-Type TOPCon panels as the default recommendation for north-facing Victorian residential roofs. The 25-year linear performance warranty covers output degradation to a published floor. The premium over standard panels is recouped within the first three to four years of operation at current electricity tariffs.
Q CELLS
Q CELLS is a South Korean solar manufacturer with one of the most rigorous quality testing programmes in the industry. Q CELLS panels are manufactured under IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 international standards and carry a 25-year linear performance warranty with a documented Australian warranty claims process.
ย
Q CELLS is Sunflare’s recommendation for roofs with slight east or west deviation from true north, and for roofs with partial shading from trees, neighbouring structures, or chimneys. Q CELLS panels perform well across a wider acceptance angle, generating more usable power across the full arc of the day on a non-optimal orientation.
ย
A Sunbury homeowner on a 9.9kW Q CELLS system on an east-west split roof saw their quarterly bill go from $347 to $27. Sunflare specified Q CELLS over JinKO based on the orientation. The east array captures the morning load. The west array extends generation into the late afternoon.
REC Solar
REC Solar is a Norwegian solar panel manufacturer founded in 1996, with over 50 million panels shipped globally. REC Solar panels are manufactured at scale in Singapore and carry a strong track record in Australian residential and commercial installations.
REC Solar’s TwinPeak series uses half-cut cell technology to reduce resistive losses and improve output under partial shading conditions. The design splits each panel into two independent circuits, meaning shading on one half does not eliminate output from the other.
REC Solar panels carry a 25-year linear performance warranty and a 20-year product warranty on the panel itself. Every REC Solar panel Sunflare installs is registered on installation day. Warranty claims are managed by Sunflare directly with the Australian distributor.
Trina Solar
Trina Solar is a Chinese solar manufacturer listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with over 150 GW of solar panels shipped globally since 1997. Trina Solar is consistently ranked as a Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 panel manufacturer and operates an Australian distributor network with documented warranty service.
Trina Solar’s Vertex series uses large-format monocrystalline cells with multi-busbar technology to improve current collection and reduce micro-cracking risk during transit and installation. The result is a panel that performs reliably across the temperature range of a Victorian residential roof.
Trina Solar panels carry a 25-year linear performance warranty. The degradation floor is published and covers output over the full warranty period. Sunflare registers every Trina Solar panel warranty on installation day and manages all claims with the Australian distributor directly.
LG
LG solar panel power systems for your homes, especially the NeON range, have specific technical advantages, resulting in better performance and more electricity output by solar panel power systems powered by LG home solar plates. Overall, LG panels have 30 plus advantages and will form the cornerstone to one of the most robust and long-term solar energy solutions on the market.
JA Solar
JA Solar is a Chinese solar manufacturer listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, with over 120 GW of solar capacity shipped globally since 2005. JA Solar operates manufacturing facilities across China and overseas, and carries Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 status with a documented Australian warranty process.
JA Solar’s DeepBlue series uses half-cut monocrystalline PERC cell technology to reduce resistive losses and improve low-light generation. The half-cut design means the panel continues to generate usable output from the unshaded half even when one section is partially shaded by a chimney or roofline.
JA Solar panels carry a 25-year linear performance warranty. Sunflare registers every JA Solar panel warranty on installation day. All warranty claims are managed by Sunflare directly with the Australian distributor for the full life of the system.
LONGi Solar
LONGi Solar is the world’s largest monocrystalline solar panel manufacturer by production capacity, with over 200 GW of solar panels shipped globally since 2000. LONGi Solar is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and carries Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 status with an established Australian distributor network.
LONGi Solar’s Hi-MO series uses monocrystalline PERC cell technology with a half-cut cell design and multi-busbar configuration. The combination reduces shading sensitivity and resistive losses, producing reliable daily output across the wide temperature range experienced on Victorian rooftops from winter to summer.
LONGi Solar panels carry a 25-year linear performance warranty with a published degradation floor. Every LONGi Solar panel Sunflare installs is registered on installation day. Sunflare manages all warranty claims with the Australian distributor directly โ you do not communicate with the manufacturer.
