READ MORESolar Panel Efficiency. Solar panel efficiency ratings are currently between 15% to a maximum of 22%. The higher the efficiency rating, the more energy your panels are going to be able to produce. Here are some of the factors that affect solar panel efficiency. The location of your solar panels. The tilt angle of your solar panels.
READ MOREIt is represented by a percentage and most solar panels for residential installations are between 15-20% efficient. Whilst this might sound like a low figure, a 4 kW solar panel system could generate enough electricity to dramatically reduce your energy bills and carbon emissions. The kW rating on solar panels is the power output.
READ MOREThe graph below indicates that of the varieties of residential solar panels, monocrystalline panels are the most efficient, followed by polycrystalline and finally thin-film. However, efficiency of solar cells alone is not the only factor to consider when choosing solar panels for your home. An important point to consider is the solar
