Risen Solar Panels Range Review

Considering Risen Solar panels for your solar system?

As a business, Risen has focussed on volume. While they’re not trying to sell premium panels with bleeding edge tech, they are known for producing solid panels relative to cost.

Prices vary, but by and large their panels suit someone looking to design a relatively affordable system.

Risen produces three core ranges of panels, the:

Titan Series
Titan S Series
Jaegar Plus Series

We’re going to take a look at all options to give you a rundown on what Risen solar panels have to offer.

Time to jump in…

Titan Series

The Titan series are Risen’s flagship series of residential panels available in Australia, with plenty of models to choose from.

Risen claims production efficiency as high as 21% on a freshly installed panel and promises good performance in low light conditions (e.g. when the panels are shaded).

Depending on the model, you’ll receive either a 12 or 15 year product warranty, backed up by a 25 year performance warranty, which is respectable.

Jaegar Plus Series

The Jaeger Plus series comes with a physical footprint that’s definitely on the larger side.

If you’re planning your system and want to cut down on the number of panels you need to purchase then these panels might be worth considering.

Conversion efficiency is good, with panels fresh out the box boasting rates as high as 21%. That’s competitive.

Performance loss due to heat is slightly lower in the Jaeger Plus series compared to the Titan series, but not by much.

This is all backed up by a solid 15 year product warranty and 25 year performance warranty.

Risen Solar Panel Warranty

Keep a couple of things in mind when you’re thinking about warranties.

Can I trust my solar installer will resolve my claim?

Number one, you want to be able to trust your solar installer. A good track record of post-sale support and customer service is what to look for here. Investigate the possibility of extra warranties, such as workmanship guarantees, and make sure your installer has a customer service team located in Australia.

Their claims process should be crystal clear, too. That team will be who you’re speaking with in the event something goes sideways, so pick carefully.

Next you’ll want to ensure your inverter and panel manufacturer has a physical presence in Australia. That means offices, warehouses, all that jazz. Again, you’ll want to be able to reach out to someone in the country if things muck up (especially if your installer isn’t around to help). The longer they’ve been doing business in Australia, the better.

Your best bet is to grab 3 free quotes from Solar Market. We know all the top SAA-accredited installers, meaning you can rest easy while getting your solar set up.
