All That And A Bag Of Chips
We’ve installed many different types of solar panels over the years and all of them come with our 30-year workmanship warranty. The race to be the best in solar energy is neck-and-neck with the victor varying by slim differences. The following solar panel manufacturers are the most requested by our clients and based on our research, there’s good reason. What are your thoughts? Let us know by emailing us at info@solaredgepros.com if you agree or disagree with the panels we call “The Preferred Panels.”
Solarever USA
Multi Busbar Solar Cell
Solarever USA panels are becoming a favorite from our clients. These panels gain a high reputation for their 25-Year Efficiency Warranty for 80% output, and with their multi busbar technology are considered to be more efficient than those with fewer. The modules are entirely manufactured in North America.
Manufactured in Mexico
Jinko Solar Panels
Reliable and Affordable
Jinko Solar panels tend to be the most affordable while still providing great output and higher warranty standards. While all reputable solar panel manufacturers come with a 25-year equipment warranty for 80% output, Jinko goes one step further by including a 12-year warranty for 90% output. Recently their US panels stopped being manufactured in China, and now manufactured in the states.
