Find out how much a solar system might cost you and what you’ll save

Estimate my solar system

 

Choosing the right solar panels can be tricky, with so many brands claiming to be the best. That’s why we lab test panels from leading Australian and international brands, so you know which ones really deliver. 

Our independent tests check how closely each panel matches its claimed power output, how well it’s made, and how efficient it is. We also detail the warranty, giving you insight into the manufacturer’s confidence in their product. 

Check out our solar panel database for full specs, or read our solar panel buying guide to find out which type of panel is right for your home.

About our partnership with SolarQuotes

CHOICE has partnered with SolarQuotes to help you find and buy the right solar, battery, heat pump and EV charger for you. While we make money if you use SolarQuotes to find an installer, this doesn’t influence our ratings. 100% of the money we make goes directly back into our nonprofit mission.
