One of the best ways to choose the right solar panel brand is to listen to people who were once in your shoes – searching and constantly reading reviews. Here are the top solar panels on the market based on customer reviews.
LG Solar Panels
LG is a premium solar panel company and a reputable brand with sound financial health and numerous distribution and installation partners.
Unlike Tier 1 brands, LG has licensed distributors, so you don’t have to buy your solar panels directly from them, making LG solar panels more accessible to businesses and homeowners.
The only cons of this brand are (1) it’s more expensive than Tier 1 Brands, and (2) the solar panels in their dealerships have lower quality.
Regardless, people love LG. It was rated 4.79 out of 5 stars by 930 customers.
Panasonic
Panasonic is a huge name in the solar energy, electronics, and home appliances industry like LG. It also has distribution partners, making it accessible.
One of the cons of Panasonic is they don’t own their entire system. Unlike SunPower, their inverters belong to a third party, not under their brand. But they have an excellent energy storage solution that compensates for this.
Regardless, customers approve of the Panasonic solar panels; 325 of them gave it a 4.83 out of 5 stars. According to customers, Panasonic offers a long warranty period. Their solar panels have excellent temperature output and work well even in a hot desert climate. Their incredible performance will most likely last for years, only diminishing by 10% in its 25th year of use.
SunPower
SunPower may not be a premium brand, but it’s a very competitive and well-known Tier 1 brand. Its Maxeon X Series solar panels, in particular, use n-type solar cells and IBC technology, giving them 22.7% efficiency, producing 226.9 W/m2 power density and 370 to 400 watts of electricity.
SunPower also offers an excellent 25 to 40-year warranty coverage, including complete system repair, removal of defective parts, installation of functional components, and shipping.
Also, SunPower has a lower market price than LG and Panasonic because of its huge production scale.
It received an impressive 4.62 out of 5 stars rating from 1,163 customers. The sheer number of people who bought and reviewed SunPower speaks of its quality and efficiency.
