It had its aim to determine how efficient are solar panels and which company can be named as a leader in the industry, offering most efficient products on the market. The tests were conducted in Germany at the Photon’s laboratory, in a place which serves as a symbol of engineering excellence and innovation.

It is no wonder that alternative sources of energy are becoming more and more popular. The world takes up a trend of shifting to more sustainable, environmentally friendly way of life. Solar energy is one of the great alternative ways of keeping your household running without any operational costs.
