Solar Panels: Browse And Compare Products

Simply put, solar panel efficiency is a measure of a solar panel''s ability to convert incoming sunlight into usable electricity. This is important because higher efficiency panels produce more energy with less space than lower efficiency models. Most solar panels today have efficiencies ranging from 15% to 20%, but some manufacturers sell panels that exceed 20% efficiency
