Australia's Top Solar Equipment Manufacturers

Best Solar Company Awards

Australia is a world-leading market for Solar & Storage installations. Australia has over 3 million solar installations, with over 30% of homes hosting a PV system. It’s no wonder Australia has the most amount of solar power installed per capita. We’re also a top-three market for storage system installations.

Australia’s industry is full of highly experienced people who have tried and tested thousands of products over the past decades. Local tradespeople and technicians quickly identify the products that are suited to our market – those that aren’t decent are unsuccessful and soon leave the country.

It’s also a very competitive market. Success locally is a testament to having the right mix of price, quality, service, value, and technical ability.

Getting to the top of the leaderboard is therefore worth celebrating. It demonstrates a brand has got what it takes to be popular. If a brand can remain on the leaderboard for multiple years, then that brand can rightfully claim to be the Best Solar Panel in Australia, Best Solar Inverter in Australia, or Best Energy Storage System (Battery) in Australia.

These are Australia’s Top Solar Brands for 2021.

SunWiz is the authority on Manufacturer volumes in Australia

How can SunWiz state with confidence these brands are the Top Brands in Australia?

SunWiz is Australia’s primary source of market analytics for the Solar & Storage industry. We’ve been collating market information since 2009 and most of the leading solar businesses subscribe to our analytics.
We collect information from many data partners that together encompass a large portion of the total installations that occur each month. No other market analyst has collated such a dataset. From this we are able to make a confident assessment of which are the top volume brands. We don’t have complete coverage and we’re willing to be proven wrong (in which case we’ll note it here and amend our ranks)

Does SunWiz claim these the Best Solar Brands in Australia?
Well we can’t say for sure that these are the best solar brands in Australia. What we know is these brands had the most volume installed in Australia that year. They’re Top Volume Brands, if you like. And to get on the Top Volume leaderboard, you must have a whole lot going for you.
But different people have different needs, so what’s the most popular brand doesn’t necessarily mean its right for you. For example, more budget vehicles are sold than luxury cars… even though luxury cars are often the best in their category. Any time you label something ‘best’, that’s a judgement call which is subjective. What we can measure is Australia’s Top Volume Solar brands, so that’s why we state that they’re the Top Solar Brands, but not necessarily the best

Interval Meter Data Tool Disclaimer

The Interval Meter Data Tool is designed to convert standard form meter data for the OpenSolar platform.

Users are responsible for meeting the requirements of the data that needs to be uploaded to the tool, which extends to but is not limited to

The completeness and accuracy of the data
Ensuring that there are no missing records
Uploading the data in one of the compatible intervals (15m, 30m or 1h).

Data uploaded to the Interval Meter Data Tool should not contain multiple datasets. In the case an excel file is uploaded, only the first sheet will be considered.

The accuracy of the output is dependent on the user’s dataset, therefore SunWiz does not guarantee the accuracy of the output.

The user must acknowledge that the output of the tool is beyond the control of SunWiz, and they must ensure that the data is accurate on their own behalf.

In the event that the program runs into an issue, the user will be issued with warnings or solutions to address or resolve the issue.

If the user requires additional support, they can avail it as a separate service from SunWiz

Warranties on performance

The Interval Meter Data tool from SunWiz attempts to convert most frequently occurring types of standard meter data file types in specific formats for the purpose of being used on the OpenSolar platform. Unless mentioned otherwise, SunWiz does not extend any guarantee of any kind, either expressed or implied, on the limited success of the Interval Meter Data Tool and the extent of it’s automation. Depending on the user’s upload, the program may require additional inputs, the training for which is not included in the purchase of this service and can be purchased separately.

Input requirements

The Interval Meter Data Tool accepts data in the 15-minute, 30-minute and 60-minute(hourly) intervals. In case the file is uploaded in an excel format (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm), only the first sheet of the file will be considered. Our tool is required to accept raw meter data, usually highlighted as ‘E’ data in its standard format; and therefore SunWiz does not guarantee that all data formats will be accepted.

For complete automation, the file must adhere to an acceptable standard format. In the case of an issue, the user will be provided with instructions by the tool on how it can be resolved. Warnings will be issued if the data is incompatible, incomplete with missing records and if multiple datasets are uploaded at once.
