How we verify
Every spec checked against 3 sources.
When we don't know, we say so.
Every product is scored on five dimensions: Efficiency, Durability, Warranty, Value, and Verification. We cross-reference manufacturer datasheets, CEC PV Module List, and independent test data — linked to each source so you can verify every number yourself. We never accept payment for placement.
