    Appreciate these are Heatable’s “top-5” - and we’re all entitled to our own opinions - but review leaves me with questions about accuracy, particularly on pricing, product & warranty info in several areas. The pricing in particular is important to avoid putting people off the idea of getting panels! You might wish to reflect on overall accuracy as it could change the result - oh, wait, no, it probably won’t as there appears to be only one supplier of REA panels in the UK…😬
    By way of an info anomaly example: the Jinko Neo N-type 430w panels can be bought online for around £100 each - far below £250-300 stated!!? And, whilst the product warranty is 25 years, as stated power output is covered by manufacturer for 30 years.
    In an unbiased world I’m wondering why Trina (a tier 1 panel manufacturer) Vertex S+ dual glass 440w panels didn’t make your list, as they can currently be bought online for just £86 exc.VAT with 25 year manufacturer product & 30 year performance warranty for LESS THAN A QUARTER OF THE PRICE of your winning REA option. Maybe you’d like to review those too.

      Probs doesn’t fit his narrative.

    Appreciate your coverage but it is blatantly just promoting the panel you have a special deal with. There are other bi-facial n types out there that would be better comparisons surely, like to like?
    Surely there is a more reputable place with an unbiased panel comparison somewhere?

    I'm amazed no longi panels in there

    RUclips says it's 6 months old. But LG announced they were pulling out of panel manufacturing 2 years ago.

    You can't compare one panel with another on watts. Some panels are bigger than others. It's best to look at the efficiency rating. Or work out what is the most of x type of size panels you can get on your roof. Or if you want in-roof trays you definitenly need to look at size.
    Micro-inverters are often rated up to about 300, 320, 350w - so stupid to pair them with a 400w+ panel!

      Hi Mark, for a panel to achieve its rated maximum output, it needs to be exposed to 1000w of light per m2, at a temperature of 25'c.
      On average in the UK, irradiance is between 600-700w/m2.
      System ratings are quoted as KWp (kilowatt peak). It does not mean the system or panel will achieve 100% of its notional rating when exposed to light.
      Inverters work at their best when they are working hard. So, pairing a 400w inverter to a 400w panel would be less efficient.

    Can your panel be used straight to a 12v battery system? Thank you

    • @Heatable
      @Heatable  8 месяцев назад +1

      Unfortunately not as the AC output is 230V.

      You need a mppt charge controller.
