For the PV Module Buyer&#;s Guide, we sent a questionnaire to every major solar panel manufacturer. This Guide is a snapshot of their global and U.S. capacity, what&#;s new this year, and their top product lines. Click products to expand for more information.

The solar module market is more competitive than ever in terms of pricing and power rating. So, what else should residential and commercial solar installers and procurement teams consider when selecting solar modules?

 &#;With the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) expected to accelerate residential and C&I solar deployment, thanks to more certainty around the long-term extension of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), demand for high-power and high-efficiency modules with long-term warranties will grow more competitive. Installers must ensure they have access to a dedicated module supply to avoid project delays, procurement problems, and customer dissatisfaction,&#; &#; Melissa Cavanagh, Marketing Manager, North America, Trina Solar.  

&#;The variety of solar modules available in the U.S. market, from both established and new players, is growing. Installers know that not all modules are created equal, and selecting a relatively unknown module company comes with risks in terms of warranty, reliability, performance and customer service. Established, bankable brands &#; whose modules go through rigorous third-party testing by labs like PVEL and RETC &#; offer peace of mind and a proven track record,&#; Elena Zhang, General Manager of DG North America for LONGi Solar.

&#;As the solar industry grows in importance, so does our responsibility to become more sustainable too. Consumers are far more cautious about the environmental footprint of the products they are buying and want to make more responsible choices. Installers must be aware of sustainable aspects of their modules&#; portfolio, on top of technical features.&#; &#; Cary Hayes, President, REC Americas.

Where to buy: REC modules are available nationally in the US from major distributors including Greentech, Renewables, Wesco, and Sonepar companies. For a complete list of our US distribution partners, click here

REC Alpha Pure-R

Perfect for: Rooftops

At 210 x 210 mm, the G12 wafers and cells in the REC Alpha Pure-R are larger, providing higher power output. By arranging the 80 half-cut HJT cells in a gapless design, it is possible to maximize the power-generating area of the module. Advanced cell interconnection technology improves current flow and eliminates invasive soldering processes, contributing to high efficiency and long-term performance. The four-section junction box divides the module into four strings, reducing the size of the sections that shut down when shaded. This allows the module to generate more energy even when partially shaded. The low temperature coefficient also causes the solar module to operate efficiently even on hotter days, generating more energy for homes. With the rapid growth of the solar industry, solar modules and their manufacturing need to become even more sustainable. High efficiency like for the Alpha Pure-R, high durability with guaranteed long-term performance, and no lead save resources and make recycling easier when the solar module reaches the end of life.

Silfab Elite (SIL-410 BG) | The Silfab Elite SIL-410 BG is the latest entry in Silfab&#;s next generation back-contact panel.  The innovative conductive backsheet and back-contact cell design eliminates the need for conventional stringing and bussing. With electrical contacts on the back of each cell, this allows the front of the module to collect and convert more light into energy. Reduced frontside metallization means less shadowing, maximizing your modules power density, efficiency and aesthetics. Reduced thermal stresses and lower operating temperatures dramatically improve durability, reliability and performance.

66M HJT All Black Module | Heterojunction solar cells consist of a monocrystalline silicon cell placed between two layers of thin-film silicon. This combination of different cell technologies results in three total layers that allow for the absorption of additional photons and higher levels of efficiency. These modules promise to deliver what the residential market requires &#; better aesthetics, higher durability, and increased performance. Heterojunction modules have proven to be more efficient and durable, with a great potential for lower costs per unit of energy (kWh). Not only does the end result provide a much superior product, the cell manufacturing process requires less steps, leading to potential cost savings as manufacturing volumes increase. One key advancement worth noting is the incorporation of micro-wire technology instead of traditional busbars, which results in improved durability and higher performance in heterojunction cells. Micro-wires also help to reduce shading by as much as 25% compared to busbars.
