PV Panels: SANYO
The SANYO HIT-Solar cells are characterized by a hybrid makeup coated with a thin layer of amorphous silicon. The advantage of this technology is a significantly increased efficiency. At high temperatures the efficiency also is superior to that of common crystalline silicone cells.
The HIT modules therefore achieve more power and more yield on the same surface than comparable modules.
The production of the modules is economically-friendly throughout: The creation of solar cells is accompanied by a considerable reduced energy input and without the addition of plumb.
Sanyo grants 10 years product warranty and 20 years power output guarantee.

PV Panels: ET Solar
ET Solar manufactures modules with very reliable solar power generation for on-grid and off-grid applications, as well as residential and utility-scale solar power systems. Their crystalline photovoltaic modules are designed and manufactured to comply with very strict international quality standards, using German manufacturing techniques Combining this with their strong design, procurement and production efforts, this ensures that their modules generate high solar power within small space areas. Backed by a 25-year warranty on power output and up to 10 years on product workmanship.
PV Panels: LG
LG Electronics, Inc. (LG) is a global leader and technology innovator in consumer electronics, mobile communications and home appliances. LG solar panels are the development of more than 20 years research in the field. LG has state-of-the art testing equipment for quality, safety, and performance tests, which allow them to guarantee a positive power tolerance (0 - +3 %), which is substantial to customers' benefits. As an example, LG 230 W modules give customers additional benefits of up to an average of 3.5 W. LG modules come with internal mechanical load standards (5400 Pa), which are stricter than international standards. The module frame's durability is uniquely anodized to minimize damage from rain, snow and sea wind. LG applies rigid standards to material procurement - solely targeting products which have undergone previous technical analysis, laboratory tests, and field tests. All of the materials for LG Electronic modules are supplied by world-recognized partners.
PV Panels: Hyundai
Manufactured by one of the worlds' largest companies Hyundai Heavy Industries - A Global Leader in manufacturing. The panels come from a fully automated factory in Korea that produces over 350 MW per annum (this is approx 1.8 million solar panels p/annum or 5000 per day). The factory is independent accredited with the ISO 9001 / ISO14001 qualifications for quality. Hyundai offers a 25 year power warranty and the panels have 3 bypass diodes to prevent power decrease by partial shade. The frame is clear anodized aluminium. The company has a full UK technical and service support and all products are MCS approved and independently tested by TUV, the leading global testing laboratory.
PV Panels: REC
REC modules are designed and engineered to meet the highest quality standards and provide stable power output over the lifetime of the product.
The REC Peak Energy Module delivers more power per square meter due to several design improvements. Introduction of three bus bars and improved contact between the cell and metal fingers, improves the electrical flow.
The modules are easy to install with made-to-fit cables and multiple grounding points that reduce the ground wire needed in installation. Easy to lift and handle, the modules have a robust and durable design, supporting a large mechanical load.
Committed to sustainability, REC modules have an industry leading energy payback time of one year. This is a result of innovations such as the new fluidized bed reactor (FBR) silicon production process which uses 80 to 90 percent less energy than traditional methods.
PV Panels: SCHOTT Solar
Photovoltaic modules by SCHOTT Solar are among those with the greatest performance stability - they are therefore among the most profitable in the market. In a long-term study by the renowned Fraunhofer Institute, which ran for over 25 years, the solar panels by SCHOTT Solar achieved over 90% of their original performance - a fantastic result!
They are manufactured using a highly automated process to ensure consistently high quality levels which are complemented with strict quality control processes to create a robust and well-built module.
Information
A solar panel (photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel) is a packaged interconnected assembly of solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells. The solar panel can be used as a component of a larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in commercial and residential applications.
Because a single solar panel can only produce a limited amount of power, many installations contain several panels. A photovoltaic system typically includes an array of solar panels, an inverter, may contain a battery and interconnection wiring.
