Hi All,
My installer originally was going to give me 18x Hyundia 410w panels, but now they said they can longer buy them and offered 2 alternatives:
Hyundia: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18TSG8YAasopmDZw_IkeZO0WbkDjYbVhG/view
Here are the 2 which they are offering, can anybody advise which one is better? (I've never head of Ulica Solar)

Thanks

- Triple aspect. (33% ENE.33% SSE. 34% WSW)
- Viessmann 200-W on Advanced Weather Comp. (The most efficient gas boiler sold)Feel free to DM me for help with any form of energy saving! Happy to help!0 -

Originally it was meant to be Hyundia 410w panels, I suppose 400w is just as good but I need to check with them if they offer anything else.0 -
Those are excellent panels! I would be very happy with them if were you, especially in the current climate.- 10 x 400w LG Bifacial + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial + 2 x 570W SHARP Bifacial + 5kW SolarEdge Inverter + SolarEdge Optimizers. SE London.

If you mean Hyundai yes I would agree, it's my first choice but not being given that option.
I want to know what people think of JA Solar and Ulicasolar as an alternative1 -
I have JA panels, they're only a few months old but seem well built and output as they should. I can't say I researched much about different panels, just trusted my installers on their recommendations.
4.3kwp JA panels, Huawei 3.68kw Hybrid inverter, Huawei 10kw Lunar 2000 battery, Myenergi eddi, South facing array with a 15 degree roof pitch, winter shade.1 -
JA and Ulica are both Chinese. I can't comment on those specific panels but I found construction quality on another Chinese brand's panels to be inferior to the Hyundai panels. If you can't get the 400W Hyundai panels, I would insist on the 400W Sharp Panels instead.- 10 x 400w LG Bifacial + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial + 2 x 570W SHARP Bifacial + 5kW SolarEdge Inverter + SolarEdge Optimizers. SE London.
