Products
EnergyAustralia is committed to transitioning to cleaner energy and ensuring a fair and equitable world. Our focus on fairness and equity extends to our customer service, workforce, suppliers we work with, and our supply chain. Read our modern slavery statements and supplier code of conduct.
Solar panels
Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells use light energy from the sun to generate electricity. The cells are made up of mono or polycrystalline silicon or thin-film and are connected to each other electrically to a specific voltage and in parallel to get an amperage.
Warranties
25-year product warranty on all modules
25-year performance warranty on all modules
