Welcome to Formula Sun’s Solar Panel guide for Perth, as a leading Perth Solar Panel installer we are only interested in supplying you the most reliable and advanced Perth and Fremantle solar panels.
As the top solar panel installer in Perth, Formula Sun has listed the best suppliers available in Perth.
The following table shows the solar panels cost in Perth per system size:
| System Size | 3kW | 5kW | 6.6kW | 10kW |
| Average price | $4,193 | $5,488 | $6,584 | $9,975 |
#1. Installation type. There are different kinds of solar panel installations. The most common is that of roof mounts. On the other hand, carports installations and ground mounts need additional posts that must be anchored to the ground which can create higher labour and component costs.
#2. Number of solar panels. There is a higher cost if you purchase more solar panels. You need to pay for a higher upfront cost. However, the larger your solar panel system is, the higher the percentage of your electricity expenses will be reduced.
#3. Type of solar panels. Panels that are of better quality produce energy more efficiently. This has a higher upfront cost; however, this can save you money in the long run. It is cheaper to purchase thin solar panels compared with crystalline ones. However, the former have lower solar efficiency and are not as durable as the latter. You need to buy more thin panels to produce the same amount of energy compared to a lesser number of crystalline ones. Moreover, you need to replace thin panels sooner.
#4. Roof Type. Solar panels can be installed on flat, metal, or shingle roofs. Each of these roofs needs different levels of labour and different components. A ballast mount is required for panels installed on a flat roof. Racking is attached directly to the metal for a standing or ribbed seam metal roof. Shingle roofs need a specific flashing piece to connect the panel racking to the roof.

Please note: ALL solar panels reviewed here come with the following industry standard features.
Hanwha Q-Cells is one of precious few non Chinese-owned companies. They are a Korean solar panel installer with R&D in Germany and manufacturing plants in Germany, Korea, Malaysia, and China. Widely regarded as the best solar panels in the world and unlike most of the other top end panels, they have managed to keep their costs in check and remain competitive. They have decades of production, solid Tier 1 financials as a fortune 500 company, and the panels come with double the standard wind loading. They also have an excellent Perth agent and in 2016, they became the top module supplier in Australia with over 10% of all installations. You might not see them up close, but we do. These are an extremely well-made panel from a solid company.

A solar company that has been around forever, Canadian Solar only provides quality reliable panels. We have traditionally shied away from them as only a small proportion of their panels were actually made in Cansolar panel installerada and certainly not the ones destined for Australia. Still, Canadian Solar produces a quality product with a great reputation.
Below is Canadian Solar’s data sheet:
SunPower panels are the most efficient solar modules in the world. They can pack 320 watts into a panelsolar panel installer that others can only get 270 watts into. That’s 18% more efficient! The problem is they cost twice as much, that’s about $1,000 extra per 1kW.

When sunlight hits a solar panel, it creates an electrical current. To get even more technical, the photons from the sunlight knock electrons loose from the atoms. This electrical current flows to the edge of the panel into a conductive wire. The conductive wire then brings the electricity to the inverter, where it is converted from DC to AC. You now have a usable form of energy in your home.
Generally, solar panels last between 20 – 30 years. But it will also depend on the weather conditions, type of solar panel, and the quality of the install. To make sure that you get the most out of your solar panels, get in touch with Formula Sun for a high-quality install – 0491 288 808.
Actually, there is little to no maintenance required for solar panels. This is another massive advantage. Once installed, they simply convert sunlight to usable electricity without any effort required on your part. However, it is best to clean them once a year or so.
This question is a lot more technical than you might believe. A lot of factors determine the efficiency of a solar panel, and there is still a lot of debate. There are also many different metrics. The efficiency of a solar panel is determined by:
Solar panels are about 15% – 20% efficient. The top solar panels max at around 22% or so. Of course, you will get more electricity with a larger surface area, but this has nothing to do with the efficiency levels.
To really understand the efficiency levels of solar panels in Perth, talk to the experts.
