Phono Solar panels, read off the datasheets

Phono Solar Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in the research, development, and manufacture of photovoltaic solar panels and is a global provider of solar products and services. The company is affiliated with SUMEC Group, a subsidiary of China National Machinery Industry Corporation (SINOMACH)....

Everything below is computed from those 174 datasheets: no score out of ten, no ranking of brands against each other, and nothing a manufacturer can pay to change. Where Phono Solar does not publish a figure, it is left out of the average rather than assumed.

The top of the range

The leaders of Phono 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.

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.

What the catalogue is made of

Cell technology across the market

Shares are of the 174 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 37.4% 65 TOPCon 30.5% 53 N-type 28.7% 50 HJT 2.9% 5 Back Contact 0.6% 1
PERC accounts for 37.4% of the catalogue - 65 of 174 modules.
