What is the best make of PV panels for the UK?
Answer
What Solar PV panels are best?
Best answer by Tim Goodwin
TBH, there is no single ‘best make’ and if there was you would have to quantify what parameters you wanted ‘the best’ to include. Some would want self cleaning, some high output per sq M, some would want long life time, some value for money, etc etc.

Agreed. And also the answer to that question is unknowable given where we are now. Supporting local producers when most PV panels are imported from China? But they took the gamble and deserve to benefit because we (UK) are timid and not prepared to invest. Not a helpful answer, but the alternative is to stay stuck in the past. As an early adopter, I may end up regretting and technology is moving fast so today’s “best” won’t be that for long. Honest answer? Do your research and decide on a mix of economic and practical asseesment while staying true to what motivates your decision (aka your values).
