This question is part of the Super Big Solar Panel FAQ from Solar Mango, where expert answers to over 100 important questions on solar panels are provided.
All solar panels come with data sheets – if your solar panel does not have it, ask for it to your installer and/or to the solar panel manufacturer.
While some data in the data sheets are indeed a bit difficult to understand (and might not be super useful in evaluation), check out the values for the following parameters from the data sheets, and ask your installers/EPC to explain these to you in detail:
- Efficiency
- Temperature coefficient
- Anti-PID features
- Performance at low light conditions
- Anti-reflective coating on glass, or equivalent features for better light transmission
