2019 solar buyers guide
Hanwha Q CELLS America
The Q.PEAK DUO BLK-G5 from Q CELLS has an aesthetic visual appearance and provides high performance on a small surface due to its Q.ANTUM DUO technology. Q.ANTUM’s cell concept has been combined with circuitry half cells and a six busbar design, providing high performance under real conditions, with low-intensity solar radiation, as well as on hot, clear summer days. With power classes up to 320W on an all-black design, it is a solution for residential rooftops. Hanwha Q CELLS also provides a 98% power guarantee during the rst year, and less than 0.54% annual degra- dation afterwards, with a 25-year degradation of lower than 15%.

Merlin Solar Technologies
Merlin Solar’s GX panels offers an elegant solar solution for residential installations. The GX panel has been designed to maximize the amount
of energy harnessed from the sun under all light conditions without the need of a bulky frame. Because of this, the GX panel is lightweight and can easily be installed ush on shingle roofs without any roof penetration. Installation is done through a peel-and-stick application, which reduces installation times. Merlin Solar’s GX panel offers energy performance, aesthetics, and the ruggedness to withstand harsh environments.

MiaSole
The FLEX-03W is a 500W CIGS exible, lightweight, and shatterproof thin- lm PV module that provides high power density for many types of applications, from roo ng to transportation and beyond. The modules will not shatter when struck by rocks and hail, and they can conform to curved surfaces, expanding opportunities to add solar to a greater number of surfaces. The modules have >16.5% cell ef ciency. The FLEX-03W module bonds to the roof surface with a simple peel-and-stick adhesive. This adhesive approach eliminates the need for racking and surface penetrations and provides strong resistance to wind and seismic events.
