4 Important Considerations When Evaluating Commercial Solar Panels
                     4 IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS 
WHEN EVALUATING 
COMMERCIAL SOLAR PANELS
COMMERCIAL SOLAR PANEL 
INSTALLATION
• When you consider 
commercial solar panel installation for your 
business, you often read the term - solar panel efficiency.
• Knowing what efficiency refers to and how it impacts the 
performance of a solar panel is vital. 
RIGHT COMMERCIAL SOLAR 
PANELS FOR YOU?
• Solar Panel Efficiency
• Durability and Degradability Rate
• Performance
• Warranty
SOLAR PANEL EFFICIENCY
• Solar panel efficiency is determined by estimating the 
amount of the sun’s energy that a solar panel can 
convert into electricity. Depending on the technology, 
the average efficiency rate for most commercially 
available solar panels is 15% to 24%.
DURABILITY AND 
DEGRADABILITY RATE
• Another factor as vital as the efficiency of your solar panel is the 
durability of commercial solar panels. What is the duration for 
which you can expect your solar panel to deliver performance?
• Solar panels are a significant business investment. And this 
investment is exposed to erratic temperatures, snow, humidity, 
wind, and more. Consequently, durability matters.
• Also, durability and degradation rate are inter-connected. The 
performance of all solar panels degrades over time. You must 
determine if it is wise enough to purchase lower-quality panels 
or prepare for the more rapid degeneration over time.
PERFORMANCE
• The efficiency of a solar panel is recorded under ideal, 
lab-like circumstances. 
• However, the impact in real-life circumstances is 
different. You must obtain information about real-world 
performance. 
• You must know how much energy conversion you can 
expect to receive realistically based on your location and 
installation type.
WARRANTY
• If there’s one more aspect that you need to consider 
about your solar panels, it is the warranty. Understanding 
the terms of replacement and how troublesome it will be 
for your business to replace the solar panel is essential.
