Renesola

Beware of the solar panels from Renesola – This is what stated in their warranty card: ten year material warranty and workmanship warranty AND Microcrack-proof packaging patent. Issue that I have in my panels: 1 x panel (SN: 42154913052801229B) has incurred a short-circuit under the glass and has cracked the pane. This is the most urgent issue. There are also around 6 other panels that also have a number of snail trails or possible micro-crack on the cells. Panels were installed professionally and certified by Australian Clean Energy Council. They cost almost $5,000 in 2013

This is what Renesola offered me as translation of the warranty: For the broken panel we will make compensation, its a 250W panel and had been used 6 years, we need subtract the normal attenuation with 6% according to the warranty, so that we will make compensation with 235W and each watt with currently price 0.3dollar, totally about $70.5, please help offer the invoice with $70.5 including RENESOLA AUSTRALIA PTY LTD and your bank information, thanks.

Poor quality, shonky operation and the warranty is rubbish. I dont know how they were allowed to enter Australian market. My attempt to contribute to green planet will end up increasing land fill. The panels are useless in less than 6 years and they dont worth $5k
