Company Information

Sharp is a pioneer in solar manufacturing, racking up 60 years of panel production. But the firm has had its share of hard times.

Previously a popular choice for PV modules in Australia, Sharp solar panels were off the Clean Energy Council's approved list after 2012 and Sharp Corp. was in serious financial trouble; but managed to avert bankruptcy with a huge bailout. When the company continued to face issues in 2015, rumours swirled it would sell or exit its solar business, which the company denied. And as it turned out (thanks in part to a second bailout); it didn't.

But it wasn't until May 2023 when Sharp modules were again listed by the CEC, regaining approval for use in Australia for new grid-connect PV installations.

Sharp NU-JC Series Solar Panels

Sharp's NU-JC panels are available to Australian customers in capacities ranging from 415 to 440 Watts.  The larger 550 watt NU-JD panel is also available.  

While Sharp is a Japanese company, its panels are made in China.

Warranty Information 

The product warranty on all NU-JC panels is 25 years. There's also a 25-year performance warranty, but the details vary depending on the model.

Sharp panels aren't commonly installed in Australia, but should be a well-made and reliable choice.
