Solar panel efficiency is measured by its ability to convert sunlight into usable electricity. Given the
same amount of sunlight shining for the same duration of time on two solar panels with different
efficiency ratings, the more efficient panel will produce more electricity than the less efficient panel.
Solar panel efficiency is determined by the production of electricity by solar cells, which is in turn
influenced by the cells' composition, electrical configuraztion, surrounding components, and more.
In practical terms, for two solar panels of the same physical size, if one has a 21% efficiency rating
and the other has a 14% efficiency rating, the 21% efficient panel will produce 50% more kilowatt-
hours (kWh) of electricity under the same conditions as the 14% efficient panel. Thus, maximizing
energy use and bill savings are heavily reliant on having top-tier solar panel efficiency.
Many consumers and people in the solar industry consider solar panel efficiency to be the most
important criterion when assessing a solar panel's quality. While it is an an important criterion, it's not
the only one to consider while you evaluate whether to install a particular solar you panel. Several
things influence its efficiency such as the material, reflection, wiring, and bushing. Solar panel
efficiency relates to the ability of the panel to convert energy at a low cost and high supply rate.
