SolaHart solar panels reviews

Sydney-headquartered Solahart is a well-known name in Australia, having been involved in solar hot water  here for more than 65 years. The company's products are also used well beyond our shores. Solahart says one million of its systems have been installed in more than 70 countries around the world and in some pretty extreme locations; from Everest Base Camp in Nepal to Antarctica

In 2012, the company began offering full PV solutions and these days has its own Solahart branded solar panels.

Solahart doesn't manufacture solar panels - they are made by China's Astronergy (SunCell) South Korea's Qcells (Silhouette). That's not a bad thing as Astronergy seem okay according to feedback we've seen from Australian customers and Qcells is a solid brand, but it's handy to know. Solahart says the panels are custom-designed and built to the company's strict quality specifications. 

There are two product lines in Solahart's solar panel portfolio - the SunCell and the Silhouette

Solahart SunCell Panels

The SunCell features "half-cell technology", which as the name suggests means the cells are cut in half. Why do this? Panels with half-cut cells tend to perform better in situations where shade may creep up on a section of a solar panel during the day. Half-cut cells also provide a bit of an efficiency boost generally. You can find out more about half-cut solar cells here.

Made in China, the 370W SunCell boasts a module conversion efficiency of 20.3%, dimensions of 1755 x 1038 x 35 mm (including frame) and a weight of 20 kilograms. Solahart SunCell panels have a 15-year product and 25-year performance warranty.

Solahart Silhouette Panels

Launched in 2019, the Solahart Silhouette is a black solar panel also featuring half-cell technology. Manufactured in Korea, the Silhouette is available in wattages up to 325W and has conversion efficiency of up to 19.3%. The panel's dimensions are 1685 x 1000 x 32 mm  and it weighs 18.7kg. The product and performance warranty for the Silhouette is 25 years.

As at July 2022, Solahart is included on the SolarQuotes recommended solar panel brands chart.
