A safe all-black pick for a home rooftop array where a long warranty from a large, US-assembling maker matters more than the lowest price per watt.
Solar Cellz USA $245.29 A1 Solar Store $245.96The Qcells Q.TRON BLK M-G2+ 430 is the better rigid solar panel overall, rated 4.5 to 4.0. The Qcells Q.TRON BLK M-G2+ 430 leads on efficiency and value. The Qcells Q.TRON BLK M-G2+ 430 costs $54.68 less ($245.29 vs $299.97).
A good-value pair for a 24 V RV, van or cabin system with an MPPT controller, or for a power station wired in parallel. Owners of 12 V PWM setups should pick a lower-voltage panel.
