Despite the frenzy, the Australian solar industry has been plagued with insufficient solar panel supply for years. Once a leader in the solar industry, Australia now lags behind countries that have invested heavily in manufacturing plants. Australia has now become dependent on manufacturing supply from overseas. With such strong demand in European and United States markets, Australia often receives what’s ‘left over’ – and that is not enough to cover demand.
As any economist will tell you, when supply and demand don’t marry – things can go awry.
It’s this supply issue that has led China-based LIGHTWAYNew Green Energy Company to make the move to Australia and launch LIGHTWAY Australia Pty Ltd.
“We do not just want to be a supplier of solar panels to the Australian market, we wanted to be right here to offer top-level service, answer customer queries, meet our clients personally, and work closely with the government in making real investments in creating solar farms in Australia,’ says David Chu, CEO of LIGHTWAY Australia.
LIGHTWAY’s objective from the beginning has been to establish a true and permanent presence in Australia. LIGHTWAY will be manufacturing specifically for Australia so as to ensure fast and consistent supply of premium quality solar panels and to build the right networks to work with Government on local, state and national level solar projects.
The company is globally renowned for its single-minded focus on catering their production to suit large scale and complex orders in the shortest possible timeframe. The state-of-the-art manufacturing facility places innovation and quality at the forefront of its production facility.
In fact, LIGHTWAY has just launched their new OP+ solar panels, which utilise world leading technologies combined with the precision of German engineering.
“Our OP+ range is amongst the highest quality panels in Australia, and they are also the hardest working. These panels cater to Australia’s varied climate and deliver high yield even in low light,” says Mr Chu.
LIGHTWAY’s OP+ range features a ‘+3 Tolerance’ rating, which – simply put – means that these panels continually exceed their stated wattage output amount – and that is a positive for the Australian market and more specifically for the Australian consumer.
