Solar PanelsBuilt to Last Decades

Panels have to survive 30 years of Canterbury weather. We fit premium LONGi back-contact panels as standard, with AE Solar as an option.

Our standard panel

LONGiback-contact panels


LONGi is one of the largest and most respected panel manufacturers in the world, and their back-contact technology moves the electrical contacts to the rear of the cell. That means no busbars shading the front: more of the panel surface is generating.

They are full-black, which most homeowners prefer on a visible roof, and they are among the most efficient panels available. Efficiency matters most when roof space is limited: more kW from the same number of square metres.

  • Back-contact cell design: no front-side shading from contacts
  • Full-black finish, sleek on a visible roof
  • Among the highest efficiencies available: more power per square metre
  • 30-year product and performance warranty

Worth understanding

Two warranties,not one


Panel warranties get quoted loosely, so here is the distinction that actually matters when you compare quotes.

Product warranty

Covers the panel itself: materials, workmanship, and physical failure. If the panel fails as a product inside the term, it is covered.

Performance warranty

Covers output over time. All panels degrade slowly; this sets a minimum percentage of the original output the manufacturer commits to at a given year. A long performance warranty is a manufacturer betting on its own product.

Second option

AE Solar


AE Solar is our alternative panel option where it is the better fit for a project: whether that is budget, availability or a specific system design.

We will always tell you which panel we are quoting and why, and what the trade-offs are against the LONGi option. If AE Solar is right for your roof, you will get the same design, install and sign-off standards either way.
