Why we recommend LG

The LG NeON2 panels are a little bit more expensive panel, but LG NeON2 is undoubtedly one of the best panels on the market and offer great value.

Your property is most likely your biggest, most valuable asset. Respect your property and add quality products to it. Payback period difference between an LG top of the line system and a lower cost version is usually only around 1 year. For this relatively short period, you get a lot of extras as per below.
The LG NeON2 with the 12 wire busbars black cells and black frame look terrific.
The NeON2 will save valuable roof space, which is important in 2016 and beyond. With batteries coming and electric vehicles in a few years customers will want to harvest the electricity in the day to use at night and charge cars. This means systems sizes will need to expand in future years so roof space needs to be saved now to plan for the future The LG NeON2 gets your property future proof/hybrid ready and allow expansion in the future.
If you sell your property/house, just like a Knebel Kitchen or Blue Haven pool you add value with a known brand panel and a quality inverter solution, with stable, real warranty support for the life of the product.

Testimonials

We had our solar system installed at the end of May 2018 by LJW Solar. We had 5KW system consisting of 18 panels and a Fronius invertor installed. The three-man Australian team came in the morning, and it was finished by early afternoon. The job was very professional, neat and tidy, with no mess left behind. We generated 5.78MWH from June to December in 2018, and have already generated 2.3MWH in 2019. This is a total of more than 8MWH in just over 9 months. We are told this is an estimated saving in carbon emissions of 4.3 Tonnes, equivalent to 110 trees. Our average power bill used to be $350 per quarter after discounts, and for our last power bill at the end of Feb 2019, we have been given a credit of $220 after all power was paid for. So, we are very happy with the results, and hope it continues to work well into the future. Good for our pocket and good for the planet.

John & Kathy - Dubbo NSW

Recently we have partnered up with SolaMax to bring in a 50kW solar system with the potential to produce a daily average output of 262kW. This is a substantial saving of 75.33 tons per year CO2-e towards the essential preservation of our environment by the reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions. By perspective this average is over the equivalent of 20 round trips from Dubbo to Sydney via plane that will be saved each year!

Ben Furney Flour Mills, Dubbo

The boys finished installing the solar system yesterday afternoon. I would like to complement them for the work that they did here. Given the extreme heat every day, they were sensible with how they went about their task whilst completing it in a timely manner.

Peter English - Service Manager, Meals on Wheels Dubbo

Our goal was to reduce our overall power cost by 50%. SolaMax was able to help us find the right solar system at the right price. We now estimate a greater saving than we first aimed for.

Mark Hosking - Custom Steel, Dubbo

SolaMax assisted with the professional installation of solar panels to our community based not for profit preschool which has reduced our power bills from approximately $2000 a quarter to receiving a credit of up to $250.00 so far.

Cathryn Albert - Director, Dubbo West Preschool

We've just become self funded retiree's and we were concerned about the ongoing costs of power usage. We met with SolaMax in Dubbo who explained to us the advantages of buying EcoSmart Hot Water and Solar Power units. With electricity savings of 60% we have achieved our goals of reducing future costs.

Henry & Dorothy Olencewicz - Dubbo

The installation and after sales service met all of the expectations of a consumer focused organisation, on time, at the agreed price, with on going consumer support. The solar hot water system that has been installed has reduced my overall energy bill by a third, and has been such a positive experience that I have subsequently installed a larger grid contribution solar system on my house.

Raphael Chapman - Dubbo

The system has been great – set and forget – minimal checking and maintenance required. The water is consistently hot it has never run out. Best of all, we have cut our gas bill to about 1/3 of what it was. We had not expected the saving to be this much.
