Solar Panel Comparison Table
Last Updated: 17th Apr 2019
Find prices for solar panels and technical specifications of various brands and models of modules in our regularly updated solar panel comparison table. Compare panels to see which may be best suited to your home or business, or learn more about PV modules you’ve been quoted on by a solar power system installation company.
Note: a downward arrow next to a solar panel name indicates information on other models from that manufacturer is available – click/tap it to reveal those panels.

As you can imagine, creating a solar panel comparison table of this nature and extent was quite a daunting task given the number of brands and models now available, modules being discontinued, prices always changing and technical specification information sometimes difficult to track down.
Are there panel models missing from this table?
We plan to update this table frequently as more products and information become available, and specifications and prices of existing solar panels listed change.
Please note that solar panel prices indicated are our best estimate of retail pricing including GST, based on available data, unless specifically noted otherwise.
Not sure about what some of specifications in the table indicate? Pick up some tips on comparing solar solar panels.
