Solar Panel Types
Choosing your solar panels
If you’re going solar, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing your solar panels. Solar panels are not one-size-fits-all, and your choice will impact your up-front costs as well as your return on investment.
At Maine Solar Solutions, we’re here to guide you toward the best option for you. Rather than working with one manufacturer exclusively, we’re proud to offer our customers a range of panels that have passed our standards for quality, durability, and efficiency.
What are my solar panel options?
Our recommended solar panels
We select our panels based on several factors, including the manufacturer’s credibility, availability, quality history, and the company’s financial standing.
During the design process, we’ll guide you toward the best option for you based on your preferences, budget, energy needs, and installation space.
