Technical FAQs 4

What is a Grade B solar panel?

Grade B solar panels have visual defects but meet performance specifications. These solar panels are less common than grade A solar panels but are typically available from manufacturers upon request. Most manufacturers keep these panels for testing purposes but sell them with warranties like grade A solar panels.

Are Grade A solar panels a good choice?

Ultimately, it comes down to this: Grade A solar panels have no visual defects and meet performance standards. Grade B solar panels have some visible defects but meet performance standards. Grade C solar panels have visual defects and do not meet performance standards. Grade D solar panels are unusable, and entirely broken.

What are solar panel grades?

Solar panels are graded based on cell quality, manufacturing consistency, defect levels, and aesthetic appearance. These grades are typically assigned during or after the panel manufacturing and testing process, particularly during electroluminescence (EL) testing.

Do grade B solar panels affect performance?

Grade B solar panels have some visual defects that do not affect performance. Grade B naturally falls below grade A in this grading system. So how does Grade B stack up against the other grades? Grade A solar panels are entirely free of defects. Grade B has some visual flaws but still meets performance standards.
