We met AE Solar at a European trade show and started working with them shortly after. A German Tier 1 manufacturer, with European manufacturing facilities, they have forged a reputation as one of the leading privately held businesses in the solar industry. Tier 1 and European based is important to us at Pleco. As the Solar PV market has become commoditized with a huge selection of products on offer, we feel that dealing within the Europe rather than going off-shore is important. On review of AE Solar’s offering we focused quickly on their meteor range of panels. Meteor panels are aesthetically pleasing with a matt black finish and are built using TOPCon technology. TOPCon technology has a thin layer of passivating material that is deposited in the silicon wafer, followed by a highly doped polycrystalline silicon layer. This combination improves the performance and efficiency of the solar cell. Meteor Solar PV panels have efficiency up to 22.57% and come with a product warranty up to 30 years. If you are going to put Solar PV panels on your roof, use the latest technology with a warranty that a European manufacturer like AE Solar can provide.
