STX Solar solar panels reviews

STX Solar was a Korean solar cell and module manufacturer founded in 2007.

Company Info

Part of the STX Group, STX Solar established a manufacturing plant at the Gumi Industrial Complex, South Korea's largest ICT industry hub. STX built up to a manufacturing capacity of almost 200MW of mono and polycrystalline panels, with modules ranging from 225W to 310W capacity.

In 2014 the company changed its name to “E&R Solar” after an acquisition by GS group. But by early 2017, E&R Solar was no more due to 'business reasons'.

STX Solar Panels In Australia

The STX-MT2 Series was available in Australia for a while, which were 60-cell monocrystalline panels in the 240W to 260W range and 72 cells in higher capacities. Among the higher capacity panels, (290W+), their dimensions were 1,963 x 989 x 45 mm and weight was 21.6 kilograms. Conversion efficiencies were up to 16% and the MT2 had an operating temperature range of -40°C to +90°C

Warranty Details

The product warranty accompanying STX MT2 panels was 12 years, and there was also a 30-year performance warranty. This means some STX panels installed in Australia are still covered by warranty, but there's little chance of making a successful claim unless the local supplier/installer is still around.
