What You Should Know About
Suntech Solar Panels

Suntech solar panels may just be a great choice for your energy needs. Suntech Solar Panel

Suntech is a Chinese company that was founded in 2001 and has quickly grown by leaps and bounds to become one of the leading solar panel companies in the world.

Suntech is focused on producing solar cells and modules. They leave the development of solar wafers and the installation and accessories to other companies and just work on bringing you a better panel.

How is that working out for them?

Suntech's commitment to providing more efficient solar panels has paid off quite well.

Though not yet available, Suntech's "Pluto technology" is achieving over 18% efficiency on monocrystalline cells and close to 17% efficiency on polycrystalline cells in mass production.

Suntech is also poised to become an industry leader in thin-film photovoltaic technology which they believe will create a lot of opportunities in building integrated photovoltaics.

Suntech solar panels are backed up by a great warranty. They have a five year warranty on materials and a twenty five year warranty on power output.

Here are the specs on Suntech solar panels:
