Solar Panel Comparisons

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)

    Who is your installer & where are you located?

    If you can get Hyundai 400W (not the 395W) or Sharp 400W, both are excellent and the only ones I would recommend. 
    -  10 x 400w LG + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial Panels + SE 3680 HD Wave Inverter + SE Optimizers. SE London.
    -  Triple aspect. (22% ENE/ 33% SSE/ 45% WSW)
    -  Viessmann 200-W on Advanced Weather Comp. (the most efficient gas boiler sold)

    Feel free to DM me if I can help with any energy saving!

    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.

    Those are excellent panels! I would be very happy with them if were you, especially in the current climate.

    Which panels are excellent? 
    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 alternative

    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.

    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.
