I was just narrowing down my quotes, and pretty much from day one have been with the 625 aikos. However one supplier has come out of left field and got and extra 2kw out of the roof by using 1 722 x 1 134 panel. I dont think the make is particularly enticing, so am looking for suggestions I can take back for a requote. What make would you use if you were limited to those dimensions?

Thank you

Akio do a 465W panel the same size which from what i could see the other day, is the largest panel available in 1722 x 1134

Edit. It is 1757 x 1134

Ha! I did exactly the same earlier NB....googled dims and it came up. Got all excited and then pulled the data sheet. They must be using some keywords that pull them up to the top!

Longi do a 435Wp which look cheap on Midsummer Wholesale ~£80.

CityPlumbing do the cheapest with Longi panels with free delivery.
My latest upgrade back in May are 4 x 435W in ultra black.

Well if you get 16kw out of those few I'm deffo going Longi.
I am ignoring pricing at the moment bevause these guys have their own wholesale prices negotiated dont they?

Just under 14p/kWp incl VAT for a top end panel and free delivery is extraordinary. Three years ago I paid at least twice that rate, plus delivery, and that was the best price on the market for top end panels.

I went slightly larger on 3 of 535W longi panels. They were close to project size perfect at 2094mm x 1134mm. A hell of a noticeable generation lift especially in.poor conditions. Certainly look and perform well so another+1 for longi from me 16.2p per Wp. Also for city plumbing, my third panel purchase from them.

You lose out on the % efficiency a touch but the price is excellent.I'm not sure chasing peak Wattage is worth it in comparison to the price benefit. Although entirely dependent on personal circumstances and expandability. I'm not sure what the current module efficiency average is in the stack em high sell em cheap sector? I DO like that sector though!

As it is now its a 5% gain in theoretical output for a very real 23% price hike to go from 410W to 430W. Same panel manufacturer and model.

LOL, same here, hoping to have something fun to report next week - from 'the boy who cried PV extension' for about 6yrs!
