UPDATE : February 23, 2018.

According to a bulletin from Australia's Clean Energy Council, a Shenzhen JingFuYuan Tech Co Ltd inverter model (Sunleaf 3000TL), tested by CEC for compliance with AS 4777-2 has failed that testing.

The CEC considers failing the Passive Anti-islanding test and other issues pose a potential safety issue as the inverter may not shut down under some grid fault conditions..

The CEC says it isn't practical for it to test all JingFuYuan Tech. Co. Ltd. inverters, so it considers the results of the model tested as indicative of other models until demonstrated otherwise.

All Shenzhen JingFuYuan Tech Co Ltd models will be de-listed from the CEC Approved Products list from 2 March 2018.

JFY inverter had a 5 year warranty and basically stopped working after 7 years and needed to be totally replaced at my own cost so I would not recommend it. Bought From: Green Engineering Review Date: 24 September 2018	Cloe	VIC	3163

I have 2 jfy inverters fail within just under 6 years. the first was repaired under warranty after failing within 3 years. i had to pay the labour cost for the replacement. replacement new unit failed again just under 3 years. installer said hard company to deal with so if I want to have a go myself, try it. I said not good enough and the installer said "well that's how it works in the solar industry" the people I spoke to on the phone could not care less Bought From: Todds Plumbing And Solar Review Date: 13 February 2018	Paul	QLD	4216

I have had these inverters fail twice in three years! First time Solar Naturally attended and replaced with same for same. Now they have failed again and Solar Naturally have advised bad luck must deal with manufacturer. For 8 weeks they advise no stock. DO NOT BUY THESE!

Since 21/12/2016 I have been trying to have my JFY inverter replaced, whilst still under , warranty, today 26/4/17 a technician arrived, from a contract company, Go Solar, he had a refurbished unit and advised me that to his knowledge no warranty came with it. After a phone call to JFY service, Fanny advised me she had no supervisor and could not supply me with a contact number for JFY manufacturing instead she hand balled me back to my installer, Solar Naturally, I am now waiting for a call from their operations manager, phone tennis is not fun. I will keep you all updated. Wish me luck,but stay away from JFY. Bought From: Solar Naturally Review Date: 26 April 2017	Tina	WA	6154
We. chose a JFY because its budget focused which still ticks the boxes with guarantee and performance. With technology and policy changing around solar so much, we also didn't want to invest with an expansive inverter in case it doesn't sync with a future battery systems. Just only 12 months on and we are looking to upgrade the 5kW system to 10kW because we are now allowed to by the government, so who knows what the futures is.

1.5kW inverter at the rental property, looks like the first inverter lasted 3 years before dying, to over 6 weeks to get another one under warranty, this one lasted 3 weeks and has done 148kWh. It works in the morning with lower solar output but once it rises the inverter gets a dc leakage. Very unimpressed with the unit and the service centre. Don't buy this brand!!

Had the inverter for 3 years now, and it's not working well at all. It is faulty and when I check its daily total it reads 0kWh. I have checked it's output for the last 3 months and it has only done 7 kW. There service centre is even worse, they are hard to get hold of and when you do they tell you it will take 3-4 weeks to make a decision to send you another inverter, but not a new inverter a refurbished one, just not good enough.

Inverted stopped out putting power. Apparently this is very common. As it's still in warranty I called to get it serviced. I don't think anyone mans the phone as my calls went unanswered over three days. I then logged a service request via the website. A week later I had heard nothing so sent an email asking for an update. 2 weeks later and no reply to my email I call the service phone number and someone answers! Their phone line is very bad and her English is not great. She tells me it takes 3 - 4 weeks to look at my request. She said she couldn't tell me how long it would take to get someone out to look at it as my service request had not been approved yet. The JFY is a very cheap inverter hence why the support is very bad. I have a feeling I will need to do a lot of following up to make them honour their warranty.

WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE POOR IN THIS AREA Bought From: Euro Solar Review Date: 4 January 2015	Anon	VIC	3995
Suntwins 3300TL. The contract plan was to split the 12 panels into two sets of 8 and 4 on two different roof sections. The installing technician persuaded me that it would be better to arrange them as a single array of 12 on the northerly facing roof section. This he did but as he did not have with him a single inverter and we were 100km from from his supply, the only sensible option was to install the twin inverter I had paid for, with capacity for extra panels should I need them at a later date. I do not know whether I should be rating the inverter POOR or not. See next section Bought From: Euro Solar Review Date: 16 November 2014	David	NSW	2575
Inverter seems to be performing well. I was pleased to get the JFY unit as it seemed to get quite good reviews in general. It also enabled me to purchase a simple wifi dongle to attach to its serial port, which regularly uploads data to the solarmanpv website. http://www.solarmanpv.com/portal/Terminal/TerminalMain.aspx?pid=9691&key=7H96GB7 Its not possible to tell if there are any age related problems with the system as it is less than a year old. The shading from the trees around the property is having a significant winter effect and is worse than I expected. Bought From: Pure Coastal Solar Review Date: 8 November 2014	Allan	NSW	2428
Just one incident to note, otherwise it has worked very well: Our original inverter experienced a malfunction, and meant we could not connect to the grid until it was fixed. When the customer support team from SAE came around to look at the inverter, they said that the problem was a very rare one. More a case of bad luck than anything else, we were told, since the malfunctioning part was normally very reliable. Bought From: SAE Group Pty Ltd Review Date: 13 September 2014	David	NSW	2484

Inverter lasted about 3 months and died. Installer was very slow to respond to request for repair and eventually admitted that they had not had a very good run with this unit and did not stock them any more. They offered to order a replacement with about a two week delay. After two weeks and persistent enquiries they offered a Zeversolar replacement unit if I paid an extra $200.00 for the difference in the units. I agreed after much discussion and the new unit was installed three days later. (Lost about two months of power generation) Bought From: Advance Solar Electrical Review Date: 17 August 2011	Anon	VIC	3400
