Solar Panels

Seraphim Solar produces quality ensured cells and a wide range of PV modules suitable for all system types: residential, commercial, industrial, and utility. And all Seraphim’s modules have proven their high performance and lasting reliability in the field, where it matters the most.

Seraphim solar was founded in 2009 and is a moderate sized manufacturer of solar panels.Their production capacity was approximately 2 gigawatts at the end of 2016. This put them well behind the world leader, Jinko Solar, which shipped approximately 6.6 gigawatts of panels in 2016.

As with many large producers of solar panels, Seraphim is vertically integrated and producesthe silicon ingots and that solar cells are made from. This makes them less reliant on outside suppliers.

Seraphim Solar produces a variety of solar panels. Standard sized, 60 cell panels are the type most commonly installed in Australia, but Seraphim also produces larger 72 cell panels and smaller 54 and 48 cell ones. They are all corrosion resistant and so suitable for installation by the sea. They have 10 year product warranties and 25 performance warranties.
