Hi,
I am in the process of buying a solar system. I originally had 13 JA 385 solar panels, for an output of 5kw.
Reading online I am not impressed with some of the reviews.
Therefore, I asked for Hyundai, but unfortunately they can only put 11 on my roof, so it is a 4.5kw system.
I feel I should take the slightly lower output and go for Hyundai over JA, - does anyone else have any thoughts?
Price difference is like £100, except with the hyundai It is a smaller system.
All help is appreciated.
I would have liked LG but understand they pulled out -
The warranty of JA is 12 yrs and Hyundai is 25 years.
The power performance is 92% at 10 years to 85% at 25 years. This is very similar to the Hyundai.
It might all be a marketing ploy but - ‘Hyundai say this’
M6 PERC Shingled Technology provides ultra-high efficiency with better performance in low irradiation.

This is the data sheet.:
Surely it’s worth it with the warranty. If the ja solar panels start failing at 15 years then surely I’m in a good position with the Hyundai - if it was thousands or hundreds more then the decision should be different but for a 4.5 vs 5kw system surely it is irrelevant ?
Also I’ve got a patio that it south facing, could I add a panel or two, on a frame on the patio ?
This might sound silly, but my neighbour’s kitchen extension is 2m longer than mine, so I could potentially put a panel there. It would be facing east though so less output (but at least some more). Alternatively, I have a wall facing south where the panel can be mounted.
From an output perspective, the frame on patio would be better. Just doesn’t look great.
Thanks.
