Everything below is computed from those 222 datasheets: no score out of ten, no ranking of brands against each other, and nothing a manufacturer can pay to change. Where Waaree does not publish a figure, it is left out of the average rather than assumed.

The top of the range

The leaders of Waaree'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.

For a house roof 380-460 Wp
1 WFLW-420 Monocrystalline 420 Wp 21.1% 2 Bi-31-455 Monocrystalline bifacial 455 Wp 20.9% 3 Bi-33-455 Monocrystalline bifacial 455 Wp 20.9% 4 WSMD-455 Monocrystalline 455 Wp 20.9% 5 WSMDi-415 Monocrystalline 415 Wp 20.8%

What the catalogue is made of

Cell technology across the market

Shares are of the 222 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 48.2% 107 Unknown 39.6% 88 TOPCon 5.4% 12 N-type 3.6% 8 HJT 3.2% 7
PERC accounts for 48.2% of the catalogue - 107 of 222 modules.
