Top 10 Solar Panels – 4th Quarter 2022

Solar Edition has here listed the Top 10 Solar Panels sorted by the efficiency of the panels. Whether you are a solar panel installer, a roof owner wondering which panels you should choose for your new solar rooftop, an investor looking for a good choice for your solar farm, or simply an expert curious about the market’s latest updates, you are in the right place.

Before diving into the list, it is also worth mentioning that the list on the website has over 10 panels and now includes over 37 most efficient (best) solar panels in the market. We publish this 10 Best PV solar panels list monthly since 2019 and here you can have access to the full history.

How Do We Rank the Best Solar Panels in Our List? 

SolarEdition’s Top 10 Solar panels list has been arranged based on three features the following

1- Solar panel Efficiency 

The efficiency of the solar panel is the first criterion in sorting our list. But what is the efficiency of the solar panel? The solar panel’s efficiency is the ability of the panel to convert sunlight into electricity. In simple words, this means the higher the efficiency, the more electricity is generated for you. Our Top 10/best solar panels list has been published since 2019 and it was originally named the most-efficient solar panels.

2- Power Density

Another used criterion for distinguishing and categorizing solar panels is power density. The power density is the total power generated by a PV module divided by the area of that module. The power density unit is watts per square meter (W/m2 ).  It is one of the things that all PV module sellers, buyers, and installers should consider.

3- Solar panel’s Power Output

The last parameter in sorting our list is the power output of the PV module. But what is the power output of a solar panel? It is the total amount of electricity you can get from a single panel.
