So I'm in the market for 4 solar panels. I'm kinda limited by what is available here in PR but I came across 310W mono panels that are all black. I'm aware that panels are less efficient when warm and so wondered if the black color has been proven to affect the efficiency of these panels?
The other panels I'm eyeing are Q Cells 385 Watt Mono Duo Cell Solar Panels - these just look like the standard ones with a white background and aluminum frame. Which brings me round to the question if I painted the tops and exposed front of the aluminum frames with highly reflective white roof sealant would that increase efficiency by keeping everything cooler?
The other choices are HT-SAAE, Preimar, Canadian Solar (375W) and Longi Solar (360W). Any advice or things to look out for would be appreciated. I'm already wanting to check for salt mist resistance and a decent warranty.
Thanks
