It was a pleasure to work with Essential Solar

"It was a pleasure to work with Essential Solar from start till finish.All the paperwork and fine details were handled by their very efficient office staff, which was a great relief for us 2 oldies. Hayley, who is an absolute delight to deal with, came to our house and talked us through the whole process, in easy-to-understand terms, never got too technical and was able to answer all our questions. Communication with the company during the process was spot-on as well. All our calls and emails were answered promptly. The technicians who handled the installation were delightful to work with. Their work is first class, as well as being very neat and tidy. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Essential Solar to anyone that is thinking of going down the solar path. They do a great job."

Looking for Solar Panels?

Solar Panels are the most visible component of a home solar energy system. Learn what to look for when selecting a panel, and discover our brands.

Panel Efficiency

The efficiency of a panel is the percentage of the energy in the sunlight that hits the panel surface which is successfully converted into electrical energy. Quality panels have an efficiency of at least 18%

Solar Panel Wattage

Wattage is a measure of the amount of power generated by the panel. The suns energy generates approximately 1,000 Watts per sq/m – so the Wattage of a panel is the area of the panel x the efficiency of the panel.
ie. 1000 x 1.6sqm x 20% = 320W

Performance Warranty

The power output of a PV panel decreases over time due to degradation of the cells. Performance warranty defines the minimum level of performance in 25 years. Expect 80% plus, with performance panels exceeding 90% after 25 years

Product Warranty

Solar Panels are exposed to the elements and the manufacture quality is vitally important. The product warranty covers defective materials or manufacturing faults. Most panels offer 10 or 15 year product warranties with premium panels offering 25 years

Trusted by the leading Manufacturers

We have built strong relationships with some of the best solar brands on the market. This ensures you receive not only the best performing products, but also continued support in the unlikely scenario where you have an issue with your solar installation.
