What is the Best Solar Panel for You?
You can evaluate solar panels on a few main parameters: production, durability and manufacturer quality.
The amount of electricity a given solar panel can produce will produce is dependent on several factors, including the power rating, power tolerance, efficiency and temperature coefficient. Taken together, these factors will tell you how much power your panel will be able to produce.
You’ll also want to look at indicators of panel manufacturer quality. Start with the warranties and assurances that the manufacturer offers on their equipment. Like all things, solar panels degrade and become less efficient over time. Many manufacturers will guarantee that the power production of their panels doesn’t fall below a certain threshold over twenty years. In addition, many panel manufacturers have a materials warranty in case the panels simply fail.
