Solar panels: Jinko & Taurus

[Eric747]

Good day,
I see Leroy Merlin advertises Jinko Mono Crystalline 555W and Taurus Mono Crystalline 144v 450W, prices are good (R4.40/W) so I'm tempted to get some. I already have Canadian Solar 600W and quality of these seem good but more expensive.
Any view on Jinko / Taurus if these are reasonably good?

Jinko is tier 1. There shouldn't be any issues with them. I'm not familiar with Taurus

Many thanks.
Any suggestion where can i get renusol stainless steel roof hooks?

144V?

Ive seen a Taurus branded inverter that looked exactly like a deye/sunsynk
So chances are if its the same Taurus aplliance brand, its also a rebranded panels

144V?

Yeah, I was also initially confused but "144" refers to total # of cells on the panel, not voltage...

144 is typically 72 half cut cells (basically 2 sets of 72 in parallel* *can vary though, some do 72x2 in parallel, some do 144 in series, you can see by the panel voltage/ amp which it is.)

Lower resistances on the half cut cells, and as the panel is "split", you can have partial shading only affecting half the panel, vs the whole panel.

eg

Overall a win/win though (both for the manufacturer and the consumer)
