REST and Eurener have teamed up to bring you the best Solar Panel on the market. We believe it is important to provide customers with high-quality, long-lasting products. Solar Energy is a long-term investment, so it is key for us to bring continued yearly savings as promised.

In a photovoltaic module, a hot spot describes an over-proportional heating of a single solar cell or a cell part compared to the surrounding cells. It is a typical degradation mode in PV modules.

Hot spots can originate, if one solar cell, or just a part of it, produces less carrier compared to the other cells connected in series. This may occur due to partially shading, dirt on the module (leaf, bird drop) or cell mismatches. Hotspots are the biggest contributor to Solar Panel Degradation over time specially here in the UK.

Quick detection is possible with an infrared camera, performing thermography imaging. A hot spot can also lead to browning in the glass plane of the PV module if it is present for a long time. Thus, the hot spot can become visible to the human eye. You can see Hotspots on panels that were installed in the last 5-10 years with hotspots visible to the human eye.

We at REST have the solution and the highest quality European panel on the Market to offer.

Solar Energy is a long-term investment so it is key for us to bring continued yearly savings as promised. As such, using Eurener’s new exclusive manufacturing technologies, we can guarantee our clients that no Hotspots will develop throughout the panel’s lifespan so that you can enjoy the benefits of renewable energy for years to come.

A 5 Star Service

Karen, Dean

Fantastic service, from my initial enquiry to the guys who fitted the panels. Thank you to Ray for being so patient with all my questions and even popping by after!

Mike, Chapman

Only had the solar panel and battery for a fortnight, but the sun has been shining and we've had 'free' electricity 24 hours a day. It will be interesting to see how the system performs in the winter months. REST have fulffilled all that was promised and I'm very pleased with the system installed. Can't wait to be paid for my exports KWh

Charlotte,

We were very happy with the representative from REST who came and gave us all the information in an honest and easy to understand way! The solar panels themselves are working excellently and making a huge difference to our energy bills.

The fitters that came to install the panels were great even though the weather was atrocious and they had to returns second day to actually finish. Very happy with the over experience from start to finish.
