The Top Solar Choices of 2018

Congratulations are due to Q CELLS panels for being selected as the Top Pick by homeowners for the second year in a row! Of the multiple solar quotes presented to homeowners, Q CELLS were chosen 29% of the time.

LG Solar and Sunpower, both well known premium options for home solar projects, were neck and neck for second and third positions, at 22% and 21% pick rates respectively.

Compared to 2017’s top solar picks, Panasonic also moved up one position, from 5th to 4th.

Note: Q CELLS and Hanwha are the same company. The South Korean corporation acquired the German company Q CELLS in 2012.

The surprise pick, at position #5, was S-Energy. This panel maker, also South Korean, emerged as a popular pick for homeowners looking for a reliable panel at a more affordable price point.
