Are you planning to install a rooftop solar system and wondering which solar panel is the best for your home? Choosing the right rooftop solar solution can help you save money, reduce your carbon footprint, and enjoy reliable power for years. In this guide, we’ll explain how to select the best rooftop solar panel for your needs.

What is Rooftop Solar?

Rooftop solar refers to solar panels installed on the roofs of residential or commercial buildings. These panels convert sunlight into electricity, reducing your dependence on conventional power sources and helping you save on your energy bills.

Orb Energy is specialised in providing high-quality residential rooftop solar solutions. 

Types of Rooftop Solar Panels

1. Monocrystalline Solar Panels

   • Made from single-crystal silicon.

   • High efficiency and space-saving.

   • Ideal for homes with limited roof space.

 

1. Polycrystalline Solar Panels

   • Made from multiple silicon crystals.

   • Slightly lower efficiency but more affordable.

   • Suitable for larger roofs where space is not a constraint.

Which Rooftop Solar Panel is Best for You?

When choosing the best rooftop solar panel, consider the following factors:

1. Available Roof Space

If your rooftop space is limited, monocrystalline panels are recommended for maximum efficiency.

 

2. Budget

For budget-friendly installations, polycrystalline panels offer a good balance between price and performance.

3. Energy Needs

Estimate your household's average monthly electricity usage to determine how many panels you’ll need.

4. Warranty and Lifespan

Opt for panels that come with long warranties (typically 20-25 years) for reliable, long-term savings.

5. Brand Reputation

Choose solar panels from trusted brands like Orb Energy for assured quality, performance, and support.
