Why Trina
Why choose Trina Solar panels
Trina Solar is a Tier-1 solar manufacturer in Australia, a ranking that reflects bankability and manufacturing scale. Trina Solar has shipped over 120GW of panels by early 2023, making it one of the largest module makers in the world.
That scale matters locally. Trina Solar held a 14% market share in Australia in 2021, so spare parts, technical support and warranty backing are well established here. Trina solar panels are available through local solar retailers in Western Australia, including accredited installers like Vista.
Trina panels offer high performance at a mid-range price, which is why they suit so many Perth households.

Warranty
Trina solar panel warranty
Warranty is where many buyers get confused, because Trina’s terms have changed over the years.
Historically, Trina Solar offered a 10-year product warranty for defects. Some Trina Vertex S panels have a 25-year warranty since August 2022, and the Vertex S+ panels have a 25-year product warranty today. Trina also provides a 25-year performance warranty on panels with low degradation rates, and the panels are designed to last over 25 years with proper care.
If your original installer closes down, Trina’s warranty covers labour costs for orphaned customers’ claims. On top of that, Vista backs every installation with a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
- 25-yr product warranty on Vertex S+ (since Aug 2022)
- 25-yr performance warranty, low degradation

Care & Maintenance
Maintaining your Trina panels
Trina panels are low maintenance, but a few habits protect your investment.
Regularly inspect solar panels to ensure they are clean and debris-free, and remember that shading significantly reduces the energy production of Trina Solar panels. Incompatible inverters can reduce Trina solar panel efficiency, and improper installation can lead to moisture and corrosion issues — so always use accredited installers. If anything does go wrong, our solar repairs team can help.
- Keep panels clean and debris-free
- Shading cuts energy production
- Match a compatible inverter
- Accredited install avoids moisture & corrosion
