Hiwatt Solar panels, read off the datasheets

Hiwatt Solar has 109 modules in the database, from 275 to 730 Wp.

Everything below is computed from those 109 datasheets: no score out of ten, no ranking of brands against each other, and nothing a manufacturer can pay to change. Where Hiwatt Solar does not publish a figure, it is left out of the average rather than assumed.

The top of the range

The leaders of Hiwatt Solar's own catalogue on the two figures a specification sheet leads with. Neither is a verdict: the most efficient module in a range is rarely the one that suits a given roof.

02

By what the array is for

Three cuts of the same catalogue, each ordered by efficiency inside its band. An empty column means the brand does not build for that case.

03

What the catalogue is made of

Cell technology across the market

Shares are of the 109 modules in the database, counted once each. A power ladder of one module counts as its rungs, which is why a large catalogue is not the same as a wide one.

Cell technology share of the catalogue
PERC accounts for 45.9% of the catalogue - 50 of 109 modules.
