Top 10 Solar Panels – January 2023

Solar Edition has here listed the Top 10 Solar Panels sorted by the efficiency of the panels for January 2023. Whether you are a solar panel installation company, an investor looking for a good choice for your solar farm or simply an expert curious of the market’s latest updates, you are in the right place. 

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the top 10 list bellow, a table for top 40 solar panels with more than 21% efficiency is shown further down. We publish this top ten solar panels list monthly since 2019 with neutral point of view, i.e Solar Edition is neither shareholder in any of the companies or is sponsored by them.

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 as the following

1- Solar panel Efficiency 

The efficiency of the solar panel is the first criterion in sorting our list. But what is efficiency in 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. Some of the solar panels listed in this article are bifacial, which can get more power from backside and therefore higher efficiency. To have a fair comparison with mono-facial panels, only the efficiencies from front side og panels are compared. 

2- Power Density

The second 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.
