Top 10 Solar Panels – July 2022
Solar Edition has here listed the Top 10 Solar Panels sorted by the efficiency of the panels. The list is updated monthly and the next update will be the second week of August 2022. 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 44 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. So let’s dive into the changes of this month first.

How Do We Rank the Best Solar Panels on 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 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. 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.
