LG's newest panels (as on our northern roof) are awesome. They have excellent overcast/low angle performance (80%) and if you are offered anything else say NO. Cheaper Chinese PV panels simply don't cut it IMHO.

Having just spent some coin getting a 10kw system to cover daytime operation in summer I went with the solar edge 320w panels, and no battery. Only been functional for 3 days and it's winter so time will tell And I have a 25year guarantee on everything .
We got solar hot water system in October last year and that made a huge difference, so I am hoping this system will help reduce the overall amount again. The graph shows the results for the solar hot water
