What Are The Standards for A Good Solar Panel?
A good solar panel, its standards can be mainly considered from the following aspects:
Efficiency: This is a key metric to measure the performance of solar panels. It represents the ability of solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity. High-efficiency solar panels can generate more electricity in the same area.
Durability: Good solar panels should have good durability and can operate stably under various bad weather conditions. This includes resistance to wind, rain, snow, freeze, UV, etc.
Quality assurance: Good solar panel manufacturers usually provide long-term warranty service. This typically includes product warranties (covering manufacturing defects and material issues) and power guarantees (guaranteeing performance beyond a certain number of years).
Temperature coefficient: This is a measure of how fast the performance of solar panels degrades at high temperatures. The lower the temperature coefficient, the less performance loss the solar panel has at high temperatures.
Manufacturer reputation: A good solar panel manufacturer should have a good market reputation and stable financial situation to ensure long-term after-sales service.
Solar cell types: common monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), cesium tellurium, perovskite, etc. Different types of solar cells will have different performance, efficiency, cost, etc.
Reliability and safety: Comply with relevant international and local electrical safety standards and regulations.
Environmental protection: whether environmental protection is considered in the manufacturing process and whether it is easy to recycle.
The above factors can be used as your standard reference for selecting and comparing solar panels.
