"Australia’s only solar panel manufacturer, Tindo Solar, has topped the
rankings for the best-performing rooftop solar module in the country, according
to consumer advocacy outfit, Choice.

Choice tested 15 rooftop solar panels at the end of 2024 and found that the
Adelaide-based Tindo’s 410W Karra panel scored the only “Excellent measured
power output” rating of all the panels tested.

Testing the 410W Karra yielded a power output of 417W, greater than its
specified rating, as compared to the other solar panels in the review which
each produced less than the manufacturer’s claimed output.

It was also the only Australian-made solar panel in the Choice panel review,
and its monocrystalline PERC solar panel out-performed other higher-priced
panels.

Tindo’s 410W Karra subsequently achieved an overall 92 per cent ‘Choice Expert
Rating’, well ahead of the next closest expert rating of 80 per cent.

“With a workforce of sixty people, we design and build a solar panel that
competes with the best in the world,” said Richard Petterson, CEO of Tindo, who
added that the Choice product review was a validation of the engineering and
manufacturing effort carried out at the company’s Adelaide factory."
