With production and capacity figures provided by industry analyst ihs markit pv magazine provides a rundown of the top 10 crystalline silicon module manufacturers based on 2017 production data.
Photon magazine solar panel ranking 2017.
Finding the best solar panels for your home can feel like a daunting challenge.
Photon laboratory has tested solar modules and solar inverters since 2009.
The ranking clearly shows which brand s outperform s the others.
Each year photon does year long live tests of solar panels of different brands under identical conditions and ranks them based on relative yield or performance ratio.
Photon laboratory is focused primarily on performing yield measurements under standard test conditions stc evaluating weak light behavior and determining temperature coefficients.
In the field of solar module measurement it has carried out more than 6 000 measurements.
Sunkalp energy has taken the latest results from 2015 and picked out the multicrystalline solar panels which are most commonly available for mw projects in india.
The test series quickly became the world s largest of its kind.
There are more than a hundred different brands of solar panels and other solar equipment on the market at any given point.
