When you think of solar panel efficiency, you\u2019re most likely thinking about how much sunlight a given panel turns into electricity. While this is certainly an important consideration for customers choosing a new photovoltaic system, it\u2019s far from the only aspect of \u201cefficiency\u201d that goes into a high-performing PV system.<\/p>\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll look at a few different variables that go into making an efficient solar installation. We\u2019ll start with how well different panels and panel types turn sunlight into electricity, but also looks at other factors, like planning, installation, and maintenance.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s get started where the rubber hits the road: the panels themselves.<\/p>\n
