How much do LONGi solar panels cost in Australia?

LONGi solar panels cost $1000-$1500 per kW fully installed before rebates - around $6,600-$9,900 for a typical 6.6kW system. Federal STCs usually take $2,000-$3,500 off a 6.6kW system depending on your STC zone, so most households pay well below the sticker price.

What solar rebates can I claim with LONGi?

Every LONGi system qualifies for federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), worth roughly $2,000-$3,500 on a 6.6kW system depending on your STC zone.
