A Split panel, is like two small panels joined together and then paralleled together. This way, half the current flows through each half panel. Less current is less heat, and more efficiency. Also, your system is less susceptible to shade power loss. A Perc Panel (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) is the latest advance in technology (invented in Australia) and is basically a more efficient panel. The key is the “Rear Cell”- it slows for light to hit the silicon on the way in, and on the way out of the panel.
A Mono (or singular) solar panel is made from a single silicon bar and cut into wafers. A Poly (or numerous) is made from fragments of silicon melted together. Put simply, a Mono Cell is more expensive to make. There’s a misconception that this is better quality. It depends highly on the manufacturer’s quality processes. We focus more on a quality manufacturer, if you have ample roof space, a top quality Poly panel system will just take up more roof space.
The Federal Government created an incentive in the year 2000, under The Renewables Energy Act, called STCs, to assist in making solar affordable. This also fluctuates on the Retail Price of STCs. The incentive this year is approximately $550 per KW if STCs are $38 per unit.
There are lots of factors, including research and development into the latest technology (nobody wants a panel that was designed 5 years ago) along with quality of products and quality assurance. That’s why we only recommend manufacturers who invest heavily on their R&D, use products we trust and have a proven long history of quality panels (e.g. Q Cell and Canadian Solar). This is critical, considering we provide a definitive Power Saving Guarantee.
