Buy your ​solar panel direct from the manufacturer

Producing your own green electricity is quickly gaining popularity as it is one of the best eco-friendly options for homeowners and a sustainable solution to lower your electricity bills. It is a group of electrically connected solar cells, enclosed in a frame, that convert sunlight into electricity and there are many benefits to switching to solar energy. For more information, you will find all the information on this page.

How does a solar panel work?

It converts sunlight into electrical current or heat used to provide electricity to the home or building. The photovoltaic panel consists of a set of small solar cells spread over a large area in order to provide enough energy. The greater the concentration of light in the cell, the greater the production of electricity or heat.

The production in kWh is lower if the panel is at a high temperature. In summer, it should therefore produce less. As the sun is stronger, despite this constraint, the photovoltaic solar panel produces more. The ideal would be to cool the panel in summer. The energy required to cool it would be greater than its production. To ensure the long term of your investment, it is not necessary to cool it.

What is the best efficiency?

In simple terms, efficiency or yield (expressed as a percentage) quantifies its ability to convert sunlight into electricity. Since the same amount of sunlight shines for the same duration on 2 solar panels with different efficiency ratings, the more efficient panel will produce more electricity than the less efficient panel.

Concretely, for 2 products of the same size, if one has a nominal efficiency of 21% and the other has a nominal efficiency of 14%, the 21% efficient panel will produce 50% more kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity under the same conditions as the 14% efficient panel. Therefore, to maximize your electricity consumption and bill savings, it is essential to have the maximum efficiency. This is why we offer the best yields on the market with TOPCON and PERC technologies on our photovoltaic cells.

Many consumers with solar installations consider the efficiency of their installation as the most important criterion for evaluating the quality of our products. Although it is an important criterion, it is not the only criterion to take into account when evaluating the particular installation and ensuring long-term sustainability. The efficiency of a solar panel depends on the ability of the panel to convert energy at a low cost and with a high power supply.

Bi-glass​Technology

This technology has been known for over 30 years. It is used for marine buoys. To ensure long-term performance, they are equipped with bi-glass panels. For many years, we have been manufacturing our bi-glass panels. Our cells are encapsulated between 2 glass blades. Most manufacturers offer a glass blade and a Tedlar film. This film is made of plastic. This creates a static charge between the cells and the frame. This static charge, called PID, can destroy performance by up to 50% loss. This is why all our panels are made of bi-glass.

Bifacial panel from I’M SOLAR​

In order to obtain the highest power, we look for solutions to offer the highest efficiency. By manufacturing bifacial panels, we have the best solution on the market. Indeed, the front and back face produce electricity. This solution is ideal if you install them on a flat roof or on the ground. You use our triangle panel fixings with an angle of 35°. The back face is therefore exposed to the sun and produces.

30-years warranty

Thanks to the bi-glass technology of our panels, we have an estimated lifespan of more than 50 years. There is no more loss of power over time. No more static charge. This is why we offer a 30-year product warranty. We also offer a performance guarantee. This guarantee is linear in order to ensure the best performance over the long term.

No​ maintenance

Our I'M SOLAR panels do not require any maintenance. In fact, they do not move on your roof. They do not have any mechanical parts that risk breaking. They are only exposed to the sun. In this case, cleaning once a year is enough. You put black soap and a jet of water. Maintenance is therefore very simple. We do not need to offer a maintenance contract on our panels. It is advisable to take out a maintenance contract for I'M SOLAR inverters.

Which inverter or microinverter to choose?

If you are considering installing a solar system at home, it is not enough to just buy the panel. They must be connected to a DC to AC converter. This is called a solar inverter. This solar inverter will supply your home with electricity and achieve solar self-consumption.

Depending on the number you have added to your cart, you must determine the total power. For example, 12 450W panels have a total power of 5424W. Then, you must check how your electricity meter is connected. If you are single-phase or three-phase.

You will therefore look for a solar inverter with an output power of at least 5000W in single-phase or three-phase. Our I'M SOLAR inverters are available in the solar inverter category.

The choice of the inverter or micro-inverter is wise if you have several orientations. Indeed, you want to install photovoltaic panels on more than 2 different orientations, the I'M SOLAR micro-inverter is the best solution. Indeed, our standard inverters only have 2 independent inputs. Which means that they can only manage 2 different sun exposures. Micro-inverters make the photovoltaic panels independent of each other. Which makes it possible to manage a multitude of roof installations.

Which battery for solar panel?

The idea of ​​producing your own energy is now possible with solar. The disadvantage is that we are generally absent during the day when they produce the maximum energy. It is interesting to associate them with solar batteries. These batteries will be recharged during the day.

The surplus electricity can recharge your solar battery. In the evening, you will have the possibility of not consuming energy from the electricity grid. The battery will be recharged only with solar. This electricity will therefore be free.

There are several battery technologies for solar panels: lead batteries, lithium ion batteries and phosphate ion batteries. We do not recommend using lead batteries for your solar self-consumption. Indeed, they have a discharge possibility of only 30% (so you must oversize its capacity). They have 1500 operating cycles (one complete charge and discharge) and operate at low voltages from 12V to 48V (and therefore low charge and discharge power).

Lithuim solar batteries have a possible discharge of 100% and operate at high voltage. So they can meet your instantaneous need for electricity in the evening. Discharge with very high powers without taking from the electrical network. Designed for 6000 cycles, they have a lifespan of more than 20 years (we estimate between 200 and 250 cycles per year).

Phosphate ion solar batteries work exactly like lithium ion batteries. They have the advantage of being cheaper and therefore more competitive.

We advise you to choose from these last 2 technologies. The choice must be made according to your budget and the brand.

What are the different technologies ​available today?

Thanks to innovations in recent years, people can power their homes with different types of panels. Currently, there are 2 types of solar cells available: monocrystalline and polycrystalline. Each has its fair share of pros and cons, and the best option will ultimately depend on your preferences.

Monocrystalline: As the oldest type available, monocrystalline panels have become the most developed. Although this type is the most expensive, it is also known to be the most efficient.

Polycrystalline: This type is relatively newer than monocrystalline, but is continually gaining traction among consumers. Its efficiency is a little lower, but its cheaper price makes it an attractive investment.
Thin Film: This type of panel is one of the latest developments in solar technology. Although its power output is not as high as the other two, its lightweight construction and affordable price can give you more flexibility when it comes to installation.

How to choose and which one to order?

Performance: Typically, performance is one of the first things you should look at when looking at panels. You don’t always have to go for the most efficient option, but you definitely need a system that can generate power seamlessly. This will ensure that your solar batteries charge quickly and produce enough electricity whenever you need it. To help you choose your options, it’s important to know that the average efficiency of panels is around 15% to 22%. With this in mind, panels in this range or higher will prove to be a worthwhile investment.

Panel Size: As new types of solar panels are developed and become commercially available, you’ll likely make adjustments over the years. While your home’s roof may have plenty of space, you should always consider getting the right panel size for you when looking at options. Since panels generate more energy per square foot, they require a large overall space. This can help you plan your entire installation.

Roof Compatibility and Mounting: Since location will be key to harnessing solar energy and generating electricity, it is best to see which areas of your home are most exposed to the sun. As a general rule, it is best to avoid placing them in areas where they may be obstructed by trees, buildings, and other structures. As an important part of the entire installation, you will need to ensure that the mounting system is of good quality, especially if you live in a windy area, as loose mounting brackets can cause your panels to fly away during typhoon season. Checking with your supplier and asking for the necessary certifications will help you avoid this dilemma.

Durability: Since your panels will be exposed to the elements, durability is another factor to consider. Panels that break easily should be avoided as system downtime will have a huge impact on your savings.

When negotiating with solar companies, it is best to inquire about the long-term durability of their panels. Manufacturers must disclose their test results to support the validity of their products.

Warranty: Warranty is established to protect your rights as a consumer, so it is another crucial aspect to consider. In the process of collecting options, it is best to partner with a supplier who will offer you an attractive warranty period. In case of any sudden malfunction or defect, this will help you maximize your investment.
