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.
