There are many things that need to be considered<br />
when looking at purchasing a solar system.<br />
There is more to purchasing a solar system<br />
than just considering panels and an inverter.<br />
Purchasing a solar system is like purchasing<br />
a car - you need information in order to be<br />
able to make a good decision. At JNT<br />
we are more than happy to give you all the<br />
information about our system,our company,<br />
our warranties, cost vs savings and about the<br />
solar industry as a whole<br />
What to consider<br />
when purchasing a<br />
Below are the key points that need to be answered to your<br />
satisfaction if you are to commit to a solar system<br />
Point 1 - What do you know about the<br />
company you are dealing?<br />
Point 2 - What warranties will you get<br />
with your solar system?<br />
Point 3 - What is the quality of the<br />
components?<br />
Point 4 - How will your system perform<br />
in our harsh Aussie conditions?<br />
Point 5 - Is your system safe?<br />
Point 7 - How much will your solar<br />
system save you?<br />
Point 8 - Are you getting the best<br />
price possible?<br />
Point 9 - Is the Costs vs Savings<br />
ratio worthwhile?<br />
WE WILL<br />
ANSWER<br />
ALL OF THESE<br />
QUESTIONS<br />

IS SOLAR A<br />
SMART CHOICE?<br />
Everybody in Australia should have a solar<br />
system on their roof. Solar saves you money,<br />
is good for the environment and is easily<br />
affordable and without it - you’ll pay for it<br />
anyway.
Can you afford to pay your<br />
electricity bill based on<br />
probable future price<br />
increases in the cost of<br />
electricity?<br />
Below is the title of a recent article<br />
by the SBS on electricity price<br />
increases. They state that prices<br />
could rise by as much as 30%<br />
“Eastern seaboard consumers<br />
could see electricity prices rise<br />
by as much as 30 per cent....”<br />
Four Corners By Michael Brissenden<br />

ELECTRICITY PRICES<br />
KEEP GOING UP!<br />
This might be a bold prediction<br />
but the table to your right shows<br />
how much your bill will increase<br />
by each year based only on a 10%<br />
increase per year per $100 of your<br />
bill. In other words for every<br />
$100 your bill is per quarter the<br />
table shows what your annual<br />
bill will go up by so if your bill is<br />
$300 a quarter you can triple the price increae if it’s $400<br />
you can quadriple the price increase shown and so on.
Electricity vs Petrol<br />
Your car runs on petrol. If I could give you<br />
the ability to make petrol at home for your<br />
car would you take me up on that?<br />
Of course you would!<br />
But your house runs on electricity and I am<br />
giving you the ability to produce electricity<br />
on your very own roof so why would you<br />
not take me up on that?
Solar utilises the suns energy<br />
to produce electricity and the<br />
sun is a renewable resource<br />
making solar efficient as well<br />
as clean and green.
What About The Environment<br />
and Climate Change and<br />
Health Issues?<br />
Coal fired power is making<br />
us and the planet sick.<br />

HOW DOES A SOLAR<br />
S Y S T E M W O R K ?<br />
Solar Panels<br />
Inverter<br />
Battery<br />
Storage<br />
Solar panels turn light into direct current (DC) power<br />
The inverter turns DC current into AC (alternating current) and<br />
that current is sent into the house to power your house.<br />
If you have battery storage the excess electricity you make is<br />
stored in batteries so you can draw on that electricity at night<br />
and depending on the battery system you can also draw on<br />
your stored electricity during a blackout<br />
If your batteries are full then the excess power off your roof is sold<br />
back to the grid at a FIT (feed in tariff) specified by your electricity<br />
retailer<br />
A 2 way meter measures how much electricity you sell back to the<br />
grid and how much electricity you buy off the grid
WHAT COMPANY ARE<br />
YOU DEALING WITH?<br />
All these solar companies have gone out<br />
of business. What if you have a warranty<br />
claim with one of these companies?

The Problem With Other<br />
Companies Warranties<br />
Whilst our warranties are straight forward and serviced by us right here in Australia, other<br />
companies warranties are full of loop holes and land mine. See below for more detail.<br />
This document contains actual word for word extracts from one of the leading suppliers of solar<br />
systems in Australia. This warranty is fairly typical throughout the solar industry. As you will see<br />
this warranty is worth basically nothing. In red is the wording from the warranty and in blue is<br />
a simply explanation of what is being stated.<br />
General Statements About The Product and Services<br />
the Installation Subcontractor) will advise you of any additional services and/ or items that are not included in<br />
the Installation but which are required to complete the Installation.<br />
5.2 You will receive this advice either during the pre-Installation site inspection (if one is<br />
conducted) or on the day of Installation (if no pre-Installation site inspection is conducted).<br />
This is common tactic demonstrating that the quoted price is often not the full price of your system installed.<br />
When the sub-contractor comes out to do the installation they will add on all sorts of extra charges.<br />
You may elect to enter into an agreement with the Installation Subcontractor<br />
This is further proof that you will be told about extra charges on the day of installation because the subbie<br />
will already be carrying a contract so he can charge you for the extras<br />
Solar Panel Warranty<br />
CHANGZHOU TRINA SOLAR ENERGY CO.,LTD<br />
LIMITED WARRANTY FOR TRINA SOLAR BRAND CRYSTALLINE SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES<br />
Address: No.2 Trina Road, Trina PV Industrial Park, New District, Changzhou, Jiangsu, P.R. China, 213031<br />
This warranty is with the manufacturer not the solar company and they are located in China. If you have a<br />
problem you have to return the panel to China<br />
The costs and expenses for their removal, installation or reinstallation shall remain with Buyer<br />
This shows you that not only do you have to return the panel to China but you have to do so at your expense<br />
refund the historical purchase price of the relevant Product(s) annually reduced by a linear depreciation<br />
Even if you bothered to send the panel back to China they will only give a fraction of the cost of a new panel<br />
Inverter Warranty<br />
This warranty is for a period of 5 years from the date of manufacture of the product as detailed on the<br />
product or the product manual or 5 years from the date of installation, whichever occurs first<br />
This warranty is also with the manufacturer and is for 5 years from the date of manufacture so if it sits around<br />
in a warehouse for 2 years you only have 3 years warranty once installed and you have no way of knowing this
The Quality of Our Technology<br />
JNT Electrical only provide<br />
the best products to our<br />
customers<br />
Our solar panels are A grade<br />
high efficieny 270W premium<br />
panels<br />
JNT’s panel efficiency makes<br />
them one of the best available<br />
(60 cells in each panel)<br />
All panels are Australian and<br />
German tested and accredited<br />
Racks are inclined to 25-30<br />
degrees which is optimal for<br />
the Australian conditions<br />
Our inverters are top quality<br />
and utilise all in house<br />
components and are designed<br />
to stand up to Australian<br />
conditions
Our Panels
Cell Quality<br />
Solar panels can be subjected to tests that simulate aging by<br />
exposing them to extreme conditions in the labratory. We can<br />
then test the cells in the panels by conducting an electroilluminescence<br />
scan. Dark patches indicate cells that are no longer functioning<br />
which will effect the overall productions of your solar system. Dead<br />
cells mean dead panels which means the requirement for a new system.<br />
0 YEARS<br />

0 YEARS<br />
Above are our Solar Panels - as you can see even<br />
after 60 years they still have almost no defective cells<br />

Above are competitors panels and this shows you what you can typically expect<br />
of most panels as far as performance. Within 5 years they are shutting down

Workmanship & Safety<br />
Not all installations are done properly. A poor quality installation<br />
can - at best - stop your system working at full capacity and thereby<br />
saving you less money - or worse - it can lead to safety issues which<br />
could lead to electrocution and fire hazards.<br />
EXAMPLES OF POOR QUALITY<br />
INSTALLATIONS BY OTHER COMPANIES<br />
Our installations are<br />
done correctly first<br />
time everytime!!
Dangers Of Poorer Quality Panels<br />
Our top quality panels won’t fail and won’t<br />
lead to any dangerous situations. They are<br />
fully tested and comply with all necessary<br />
standards and can handle our harsh<br />
Australian Conditions. Below are 2 possible<br />
issues resulting from poor quality panels<br />
that you need not worry about with our panels.<br />
Left: Delaminated cells in solar<br />
panels due to cheap components<br />
Right: poor quality panels<br />
not only are less productive<br />
but can be downright dangerous.<br />
This array caught fire possibly<br />
due to arcing from water ingress.
Dangers Of Poorer Quality Components<br />
As in any industry product recalls can occur. We know every<br />
component we’ve used in your system so on the outside<br />
chance that a product recall happens we can swap the<br />
component over very quickly. Other companies may not<br />
even know what components they used and if they were any<br />
recalled they wouldn’t know and you wouldn’t know.<br />
Cable<br />
Isolators<br />
Left: Cable recalled<br />
due to fire hazard. If<br />
this was in your system<br />
and your solar company<br />
doesn’t know it is then<br />
you have a problem.<br />
Left: Isolators recalled<br />
due to fire hazard and electric<br />
shock hazard. If this was in<br />
your system and your solar<br />
company doesn’t know it is<br />
then you have a problem.<br />
