What is a Tier 1 Solar Panel?
A common term that sales companies and manufacturers use is the ‘Tier 1’ rating. The Tier rating was developed by Bloomberg New Energy Finance Corporation and is basically used to rate solar panel manufacturers in terms of financial stability. Unfortunately a Tier 1 ranking does not mean a panel offers the highest performance or quality. With most established panel manufacturers now rated as Tier 1, it is more important than ever to know how to distinguish a high quality and reliable panel by other means which we explain in more detail in our solar panel quality review.
Can I obtain interest free credit?
Sadly not from SolarYou as there is no such thing as Interest-Free Credit. ‘Green Loan’ finance can be arranged between customer and finance company or bank, tip is to shop around and gain at least three quotes, then consider the small print, “can we pay off the loan early?”

Mono vs Poly Silicon Cells
There is a long ongoing debate about the superior PV cell technology between monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon cells. Monocrystalline cells (mono) are cut from a single crystal ingot are more efficient but more expensive to manufacture. The higher cost lead the way for polycrystalline technology to become the preferred cell type used, in particular during the last 5 years. Polycrystalline cells, also known as multicrystalline or ‘multi’ cells, are grown from multifaceted crystalline material (grown in multiple directions) which is cheaper to produce but offers slightly lower efficiency. Both are still widely manufactured and very reliable but mono cells are considered the the superior technology in regards to efficiency with lower degradation over time.
