Solar Home only uses solar panels that have been manufactured with solar cells that have been cut from solid ingots of silicon.

When shopping for solar panels, always insist on solar panels that use solar cells that have been cut from a solid silicon ingot.

Many of the solar panels that are on the market that use solar cells that are not cut from solid silicon ingots may offer lower efficiencies, poorer tolerances or lesser warranties.

No thin film, ribbons, bows or strings attached.


Simply Better Components

In an effort to be more competitive, many dealers have resorted to offering thin light duty mounting rails that require many more roof penetrations, and solar panels with poorer per Watt PTC ratings and or solar panels that use cells that are not cut from a solid ingot of silicon.
 
Here at Solar Home we never skimp on quality. Every system that we sell includes only the very best heavy duty components available on today's market.
 
And that's not just talk. In a side by side comparison we'll prove why our name brand top of the line equipment outperforms the competition hands down at a price that can't be beat.
