Company Info

China Sunergy was founded in 2004 and started its first solar cell production line in 2005.

The firm grew quickly and in 2007, listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange - but that was to end in 2016 after CSUN experienced major financial problems and it was delisted for having a total share value of less than USD $15 million.

The company managed to keep going throughout its trials and tribulations, and today has 2.5GW of annual production capacity from seven factories in China, USA, Turkey, South Korea and Vietnam. The company says it has shipped more than 15GW of its solar panels worldwide.

CSUN Solar Panels In Australia

CSUN says it established a branch office in Australia in 2011, but the warehouse was closed in 2016 due to "changing of its strategy". The firm claimed it was continuing to expand locally through local distributors. However, it was still listing Australian phone numbers on its website; both of which were disconnected. We know they were disconnected because we tried them on various occasions in 2017 and 2018.

Then in 2019, all CSUN solar panels that were previously approved for use in Australia by the Clean Energy Council - and there were a lot of them - were delisted. The CEC said this was due to the use of components not on the certificate and serial numbers that didn't conform with the formats supplied to the organisation. 

This means that any CSUN panels installed from the date of delisting would no longer be eligible for Australia's solar rebate (and some other state incentives) - and it's unlikely they would get permission to connect to the grid in most Australian regions.

CSUN Warranty Information

Before delisting, CSUN solar panels available in Australia had a 10 year product warranty and a 25 year performance warranty. China Sunergy do not have an office here, so if you have issues with CSUN panels still under warranty, you should contact your installation company as the first step as they are responsible for warranty issues. If your installer has disappeared, then try contacting China Sunergy.

Again, I don't know much about solar panels, other than they came with a 10 year product warranty and a 25 year performance warranty. They seem to be performing well thus far.

Produces as much as was predicted with 17 Canadian Solar CS6K-280M. So perhaps not as efficient as, so when told we would have to wait past the instal date for them or we could go ahead with CSUN...should have waited. I would urge people who sign up to wait for what they signed up for rather than rush it. If the supply wishes to change, must be better not the same.

Right in the middle of a heatwave at the moment and pretty much able to run my aircon and fans at no charge during the hot hours, and without the heatwave, dishwasher, drier fridge pretty much no cost during the daylight hours.

Panels have been working consistently all year with equal power generation from each one, observable online via the APS monitoring system 24/7. Self-cleaning in rainy conditions (had plenty of those!) and they generate power from dawn to dusk despite being flush-fitted to a NW facing colourbond roof with a 10 degree slope. Even on cloudy days they are still producing power, albeit in noticeably smaller amounts.

The panels preform very well. The only issue was just recently during heavy rain. Water had entered the DC isolation switch causing problems and fault in the system. The SolaX monitoring system was quick to sent me an email to tell me there was a fault. Contacted the repair agent and they where there that day to shut the system down to avoid any damage and che k an repaired the system in 3 days. They used a different type switch and repositioned it to keep it out of the weather. Apparently there quite a few system around town with the same issue with the DC isolation switch. System is all good and running normal.
