Jinko and LONGi are two of the most widely-installed solar-panel brands in Perth, and they're frequently shortlisted against each other. Both are very large Chinese-made manufacturers running current-generation N-type cell technology (Jinko's Tiger Neo, LONGi's Hi-MO). Here's a fair, spec-led comparison for WA roofs — the right pick usually comes down to the exact model, warranty and price your installer quotes.
Quick answer
Jinko tends to suit value-focused buyers who want current-generation efficiency from a high-volume, widely-available brand. LONGi tends to suit buyers who prioritise efficiency and manufacturing scale from a large, established panel maker. Both ranges qualify for federal STCs in Perth (STC Zone 3); there's no separate WA panel rebate.
