What to Look For in Solar Panels

Efficiency (22%+)

Higher efficiency means more power per square foot of roof space. Critical for smaller roofs.

Temperature Coefficient

Look for -0.30%/°C or better. Canadian summers get hot, and lower coefficients mean less power loss in heat.

Bifacial Technology

Bifacial panels generate 5-10% more by capturing reflected light. Especially beneficial with snow reflection.

Warranty (25+ years)

Ensure both product warranty (manufacturing defects) and performance warranty (80%+ at 25 years).

Snow/Wind Load Rating

For Canadian conditions, look for 5,400+ Pa front load rating to handle heavy snow accumulation.

N-type vs P-type

N-type cells (TOPCon, HJT) offer better performance, lower degradation, and better low-light performance than older P-type.
