Type
Monocrystalline: The typical black panel used in most domestic installations these days.
Monocrystalline PERC: A higher efficiency technology found in some panels. See our buying guide for more information.
Claimed power output (W)
The claimed power output for the panel under standard lab conditions. The higher the number, the more electricity you'll get from the panel. See our buying guide for an explanation.

Product warranty (years)
The warranty for the panel itself, covering repair or replacement if the panel is faulty. 12 years is the typical minimum, but some brands have increased these warranties to as much as 25 years (in some cases conditional on the panels being installed by one of their approved installers).
Power output score
A score out of 100 based on how close the tested panels come to their claimed power output. 100 indicates the panel exceeded its claim, 80 means it was as per its claim, and lower scores indicate it fell short to some extent. See How we test solar panels for details.

Electroluminescence score
The electroluminescence test uses infrared photography to find hidden microcracks and other faults in the panels. 100% = all three panel samples passed; 66% = one sample failed; 33% = two samples failed; 0% = all three samples failed.

Efficiency (%)
The manufacturer's claimed efficiency for the panel – its electricity output (in watts) compared to its surface area. The bigger the number, the better. See our buying guide for details.
