best of my knowledge, the panels themselves are reliable and suffer no disadvantage from not being made in that ridiculous mass of peninsulas sticking into the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<h2>The HT-SAAE Company:\u00a0 To Infinity &amp; Beyond!\u00a0 (But Mostly Earth.)<\/h2>\n<p>HT-SAAE&#8217;s story begins in 1956 with the formation of the original version of the China Aerospace Corporation that produced satellites, space rockets and missiles.\u00a0 Because nuclear powered satellites have <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kosmos_954\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener

a series of reforms that transformed many state owned companies into other state owned companies and this led to HT-SAAE being founded in 1998.\u00a0 Their website says the final four letters of their name stand for <strong>S<\/strong>hanghai <strong>A<\/strong>erospace <strong>A<\/strong>utomobile <strong>E<\/strong>lectromechanical.\u00a0 They didn&#8217;t mention what the <strong>HT<\/strong> means, so I thought it must be a state secret.\u00a0 But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ascenergy.com.au\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ASC Energy<\/a> &#8212; their sole distributor in Australia &#8212; told me it stands for &#8220;Hang Tian&#8221; which apparently means &#8220;aerospace&#8221; and not &#8220;Hang Ten&#8221; as I assumed.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea why they decided to combine aerospace and automobiles in the same company.\u00a0 I&#8217;m pretty sure that in 1998 the Chinese Government knew you couldn&#8217;t drive to the moon.\u00a0 They say the automotive side of the company makes vehicle spare parts and air conditioners and not space cars &#8212; but that&#8217;s exactly what I&#8217;d expect them to say if they were working on space cars.<\/p>\n<h2>No Australian Office<\/h2>\n<p>HT-SAAE does not have an Australian office.\u00a0 This means the importer of the solar panels is responsible for the manufacturer&#8217;s warranties.<\/p>\n<h2>Is A State Owned Company Secure?<\/h2>\n<p>With a finger in car air conditioning, along with several other pies, HT-SAAE is definitely a diversified company.\u00a0 This may help them survive downturns in the PV market and still be be around to honor warranties in the future.\u00a0 On the other hand, the PV side of their business could be at risk if they manage to screw up the vehicle spare parts and air conditioner side of things, so you&#8217;ll have to go with your own judgement on this.<\/p>\n<p>My guess is being owned by the Chinese Government increases the chances HT-SAAE will be around long term.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s not a guarantee.\u00a0 Like most of China&#8217;s state owned enterprises, HT-SAAE earns a very low return from the capital invested in it.\u00a0 China is in no hurry to break apart these inefficient enterprises because they fear social unrest from rising unemployment.\u00a0 But if the country&#8217;s rulers become desperate to maintain GDP growth, they may be tempted to start cracking open these state enterprise eggs to see if there is any golden yolk inside.<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/ht-saae-solar-panels\/#en-31312-4' id='enref-31312-4' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(31312)'>4<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>My impression is China is reluctant to let any solar panel manufacturer that reaches tier one status go to the wall, so I think the odds are good the solar side of HT-SAAE will be around long term, even though the company may get reorganized.<\/p>\n<h2>Manufacturing Locations<\/h2>\n<p>HT-SAAE produces solar panels in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shanghai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shanghai<\/a> City and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jiangsu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jiangsu<\/a> Province and has a factory in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Istanbul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Istanbul<\/a> in Turkey.\u00a0 There is also a research center in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Inner_Mongolia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region<\/a>.\u00a0 This is part of China, but has some measure of self-rule.\u00a0 Either that, or it&#8217;s where they test their self-driving cars.<\/p>\n<h2>HT-SAAE Solar Panels:\u00a0 Never Made In Europe.\u00a0 Ever.<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s several years now since my eyes first gazed across a crowded solar exhibition room in Melbourne and locked onto the HT-SAAE display stand.\u00a0 At the time I knew very little about the company except she was Chinese, so I was surprised to see, under her name, the words:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Made in Europe&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This intrigued me and I approached, eager to learn more.\u00a0 A HT-SAAE representative told me their European factory was in was in Turkey.\u00a0 When I asked them if any of the panels made in the Turkish factory were imported into Australia, they said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I considered explaining that in this country that&#8217;s not what&#8217;s meant by &#8220;Made in Europe&#8221;.\u00a0 But, unfortunately for his education, I was short of time and moved on because I still had to meet my quota for knocking over pot plants that day.<\/p>\n<p>But it gets worse.\u00a0 HT-SAAE&#8217;s Turkish factory isn&#8217;t even in Europe.\u00a0 Maybe HT-SAAE thought they could get away with their deception because they didn&#8217;t realise every Australian schoolchild is forced to learn in excruciating detail about Churchill&#8217;s attempts to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Naval_operations_in_the_Dardanelles_campaign#Forcing_the_straits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">force battleships up Turkey&#8217;s Dardanelles<\/a>.\u00a0 As a result, we know exactly which parts of Turkey are in Europe and which parts are in Asia and the HT-SAAE factory is clearly on the Asian side of the thin blue line of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bosporus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bosporus<\/a> that separates the continents and prevents their southern regions from touching tips.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_33629\" style=\"width: 1223px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"

and that&#8217;s not even true.\u00a0 So everything I say in their language is a lie.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not a good position to start from when trying to work out if there has been a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<h2>Did Well In 2018 DVNGL PV Scorecard Testing<\/h2>\n<p>DVNGL is a Norwegian standards organization that &#8212;

at the start of a panel name indicates a standard sized 60 cell panel, which is the size that most commonly goes on home roofs while a &#8220;HT72&#8221; indicates a larger 72 cell solar panel.\u00a0 Their standard sized panels range in efficiency from 17.7% up to 19.8%.\u00a0 Panel efficiencies have been increasing, but I say one that&#8217;s a little short of 20% still counts as high efficiency and can be useful for making the most of limited roof space.<\/p>\n<h2>Warranties<\/h2>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\n<strong>Note:<\/strong> as mentioned above, the HT-SAAE solar panel product warranty in Australia has been boosted to 25 years.<br \/>\n&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>HT-SAAE solar panels sold in Australia now have a 12 year product warranty and a 25 year performance warranty, as this snippet from their new warranty document shows:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33663 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/warperiod.png\" alt=\"HT-SAAE Solar Panel warranty\" width=\"942\" height=\"141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/warperiod.png 942w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/warperiod-300x45.png 300w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/warperiod-768x115.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The wording of the warranty document could be improved, as it excludes a number of things you are protected from under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accc.gov.au\/consumers\/consumer-rights-guarantees\/consumer-guarantees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Australian Consumer Guarantees<\/a>.\u00a0 Fortunately, these guarantees apply no matter what a warranty document may say.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s always good to know in advance you won&#8217;t have to fight a company for your consumer rights.<\/p>\n<p>While the warranty document should be improved &#8212;
