Choosing solar panels for your home or project

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity that you can use directly. When choosing a suitable solar panel, the key factors are power in watt-peak (Wp), dimensions, panel technology and available roof space. A higher-power panel can generate more energy, but it must also fit the roof and the rest of the installation properly.

What should you look for?

The final yield depends on factors including the orientation and pitch of the roof, any shading and the number of panels that can be installed. The selected inverter must also be technically compatible with the power and characteristics of the solar panels.

Think ahead as well. A future heat pump, electric car or home battery can change your electricity consumption. It can therefore be sensible to take future expansion into account when designing the installation.

Do not compare solar panels by power alone, but also by module technology, product warranty, performance warranty, dimensions and compatibility. This creates a reliable solar energy system that suits the home, energy consumption and available roof space.
