Things to Consider when Choosing Solar Panel Brands
1. Quality and Efficiency

Make sure to have someone technical to help you assess the technical specifications of the solar panels in case of new brands. Look at the back of the solar panel for the name plate which contains key information, certifications and electrical ratings.

There is always a reason why a manufacturer gives a certain duration as warranty. And this is definitely based on the product performance tests conducted by the manufacturer.
If a manufacturer himself does not have confidence in his product and cannot be sure that his product will function for at least a certain number of years then who are you to believe in the very same product more than its manufacturer?

Important to emphasize that do not just consider the warranty period in terms of number of year, but rather also check the terms and conditions of the warranty. This is important because some manufacturer nowadays have good warranty in terms of number of years but have strict terms and conditions making it difficult to get a warranty replacement when the need arises. Perhaps they know that people do not pay attention to the terms and conditions as they will only look for the warranty years.
