With our Australian-made, state-of-the-art solar panels, all Australians can access reliable, clean energy from the sun. If you want to slash your energy bills and be part of the clean energy revolution, the answer is always Tindo.
We’ve been building them for over a decade and have learnt a thing or two about the difference between a good panel and a great panel. We take time to craft each panel and make sure only the best panels leave the factory.
It’s a fact that every single Tindo panel passes through more than 25 quality control and checkpoints during the manufacturing process. We’ve done this to ensure that what leaves our place and is installed at your place will deliver a long term, reliable energy solution.

The 8th Generation of Tindo panel, the Walara 425W G3P is our current module. We believe it’s one of the best solar panels on the market and these are just a few of the reasons why:
Most Australians love buying Australian-made products. There’s a sense of pride in owning Australian-made solar panels. But there are more reasons to invest in high-quality Tindo solar systems.
Find out moreThe major reason to invest in quality solar panels is performance. Our Tindo solar panels are manufactured using anti-reflective glass, innovative wiring technology, and reduced internal resistance. In simple terms, this means better performance and more energy output.
At Tindo, we operate with strict quality-control mechanisms, ensuring that every solar panel we sell has been through over 25 quality-control checkpoints. We offer an impressive 25-year warranty, giving you peace of mind that your solar panels will keep producing for a number of years to come.
We also build our solar panels tough. They’re tried and tested in harsh Australian climates and can withstand anything mother nature throws at them. IP68-rated, our panels withstand rain, wind and, of course, plenty of sun.
Supporting local means supporting your local economy. By manufacturing our solar panels right here in South Australia, we’re providing jobs to South Australians. More than this, by manufacturing our solar panels locally, we are able to ensure strict quality control processes are implemented every step of the way. Resulting in solar panels that simply can’t be beaten.
In addition to this, we are able to look at solar panel failure rates worldwide. The global average sees around 1 in every 1,000 solar panels failing. Tindo Solar panels only fail 1 in every 200,000, making our panels 200 times more reliable as the global average.
Yes! At Tindo, we offer panels and solar panel systems for both Adelaide residential homes and commercial properties. Each of our South Australian made solar panels are constructed with premium materials, and tried and are put through stringent testing ensuring that they meet our high-quality standards.
As experts in solar energy, our highly- trained solar installers can design and install the right solar system for any South Australian commercial property or home.
When you buy Australian-made solar panels, you’re investing in your future. Switching to solar can save you plenty of money on electricity bills, but you only get the full benefit when you purchase high-quality solar systems.
Made right here in Mawson Lakes, South Australia, Tindo solar panels are designed for Australian conditions. We use advanced technology such as ten busbars for lower internal resistance losses. As well as using giant M10 solar cells, which make our panels look better and ensure a higher percentage of the panel surface area can generate energy.
Every Tindo solar panel also features SolarEdge inverters and optimisers for increased energy output and reliability. Overall, Tindo offers the best types of solar panels on the Australian market, suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
Your solar panel needs are unique to you and your home. There is no set number of panels that are required on a roof. However, in order to achieve a certain amount of solar energy generation, you’ll require a certain number of panels. The number of solar panels required varies depending on your system size, available roof space and energy consumption needs.
To explore which customer solar system is right for your Adelaide home or business, speak with one of our expert solar energy consultants today! We take the time to ensure that your new solar panel system is tailored to your needs, always ensuring that you have enough solar panels to meet your energy goals.
The required solar system size varies from house to house. You must consider your historical energy consumption to determine how much kWh you use daily. This is a basic way to determine your needs, but our Tindo Solar experts look a little deeper.
We analyse when you use the most power, considering peaks and troughs throughout the year. With this data, we can determine which size system will comfortably service your energy needs all year round.
A 6.6kW system is enough for most Australian households. Still, it depends on the number of people living there, how much energy is consumed and whether you want to store or sell excess solar energy.
When it comes to solar, the more panels you have, the more you save. Our expert solar energy consultants will work with you to determine what your energy needs are at peak consumption levels and design a system that is the perfect fit for your Adelaide property.
Some Adelaide homeowners install solar panels as a way to store more power in their solar battery and export more solar energy to the grid. Most electricity retailers offer a feed-in tariff that gives you credit for the solar you ship. However, it’s worth mentioning that the credit rates aren’t usually high, so we don’t advise installing an extensive solar panel system if your only goal is to export more solar.
Weather conditions affect how much energy your Australian-made solar panels can generate. But on a sunny day with clear skies, you can expect a 10kW solar energy system to produce around 40kWh of energy per day. This should be ample power to run most Australian households, but it’s important to remember that every home is different. It’s always best to consult your Tindo Solar experts to get the best-size solar system for your needs.
Several factors determine your return on investment (ROI) for solar systems. Essentially, a solar system is considered to have paid for itself when your energy savings total the same amount as your upfront installation costs. Therefore, how much you save depends on how much energy you use and when you use it.
For example, let’s say your solar system costs you $5,000. If you save $1,000 on electricity bills yearly, the system pays for itself in five years. To accurately determine ROI, you also need to factor in the initial cost of your system. Don’t worry – our energy consultants give you an accurate ROI assessment during your consultation.
Most solar system installations can be completed within a day. The system’s size, location, property access, and weather conditions can affect the installation process, but as a guide, we recommend most installations take one day. When our energy consultants meet with you, they will inspect your property and give you a better estimate of how long your installation will take.
The generally accepted direction for your solar panels to face is north. North-facing panels usually experience more sunlight during the day, which increases solar energy production. In some cases, facing your panels directly north may not be possible, especially if trees or other buildings are obscuring the sun from that direction. In this case, you would ideally try to position your solar panels facing northwest or northeast.
The tilt level is also an important factor, which varies depending on your home’s latitude. For example, in Adelaide, the recommended tilt is around 30 degrees, but in Darwin, it is 18 degrees. Again, you don’t need to worry because our solar experts always find the optimal position for your solar panels.
Since we manufacture Australian-made solar panels, we may be a little biased. However, we manufacture in Australia for several reasons. Firstly, we’re a proud Australian company that wants to contribute to the Aussie economy in a positive way. But also, we maintain total control over our manufacturing processes. Our solar panels go through over 25 quality control checkpoints before leaving the factory.
One statistic we like to consider is the average failure rate of solar panels. The global average sees around 1 in every 1,000 solar panels failing. Tindo Solar panels only fail 1 in every 200,000, making our panels 200 times more reliable than the global average. So, for this and many other reasons, we do believe that Tindo solar panels are better than their overseas counterparts.
They certainly are. All of our solar panel systems are South Australian made, we have complete control over the manufacturing process. Before leaving our Mawson Lakes factory, every solar panel passes over 25 quality control checkpoints, so you can rest assured you’re getting quality products.
Our materials, such as glass, film and junction boxes, are stress-tested separately. We also use electroluminescence testing, highlighting defaults the naked eye can’t see, such as fingerprints or micro cracks. We then apply flash testing, which mimics the strength of the sun’s rays, ensuring our panels perform efficiently when in action.
There are heaps of ways to get more out of your solar panels. Firstly, keep them clean and well-maintained. Washing them with warm, soapy water is advised twice a year, and you should have them serviced once a year for peace of mind.
Also, consider when you use solar power. Your system produces the most energy during daylight hours, so try to program expensive appliances like dishwashers and washing machines to run during the day. This means less reliance on the national grid and lower electricity bills.
Both state and federal governments offer solar panel rebates. These change frequently, but you should always ask us about current rebates. We’ll let you know what’s available in your state and even help you take advantage of them with as little hassle as possible.
We don’t offer set solar system packages because every home is different. Rather, we consult thoroughly to determine your needs and tailor a system to suit them. Our prices are still affordable, so don’t worry!
Solar batteries allow you to store excess power for the evenings (or when the sun isn’t shining). They also give you a reliable source of power in the event of a blackout or if something goes wrong with your solar panels. While there is an upfront cost for solar battery installation, many people enjoy the added energy independence. It’s also a great investment if you’re considering an electric vehicle in the future, as you may be able to charge it every evening with free solar energy.
We tailor a high-quality solution uniquely for you, one that will suit your unique situation. See how with our simple 3 step process below.
We collaborate with you to personalise a solar solution for your home or business – no heavy sales guys!
Your solar system is installed, and you enjoy your sunshine generated electricity.
Love my solar and I am so proud to have supported an all Australian company that has provided the Rolls Royce of solar. 25 year replacement guarantee if the panel does not perform.
Thank you Tindo for your great service and giving me peace of mind that I have purchased a quality system and I have assisted to reduce greenhouse emissions.
If you are looking at buying solar, I did a lot of research. In my opinion Tindo Solar was the best and reasonably competitive with pricing for a premium quality system. Love the team at Tindo Solar.
We chose to go with Tindo because they manufacture in Adelaide, are Australian owned and we wanted to be able to have repairs and parts etc easily accessible over the years. They are super great to deal with, always answer the phone, have a fantastic installation team and electricians. We have 28 panels on our roof and the cost saving on bills is amazing. My dad chose Tindo over 10 years ago for his solar system and has never had an issue. We are a very happy Tindo family.
Tindo Solar is a very reliable solar company, most of all its panels are locally manufactured. The installation went very well, the installers were courteous, tidy and mindful of everything they did. We kind of expected that we would be cleaning up dust as a result of the installation on the roof and drilling on the wall but we never did! They cleaned everything and it's as if nothing had happened. Tindo did their post installation follow up and continue to monitor until the system is up and running as well as the monitoring app on our phone. Highly recommended!
We invite anyone to come and tour our factory to see how our panels are made. Individuals, School and Community Groups, Businesses and associates can tour our facility, getting up close to see how we take raw inputs and turn them into something spectacular.
