Public Service Solar has been Panasonic’s Northeast Residential Installer of The Year for 2024. This is the third consecutive year Public Service Solar has received this award from The Panasonic Corporation of North America. The winner of this award is selected based on the volume of EVERVOLT® home energy solutions products installed along with the quality of the workmanship and the company’s commitment to customer service.
Andrew Contrino, the Chief Marketing Officer, said of the award, “It is an honor to receive this award for the third year in a row! For us, using Panasonic comes down to the high efficiency of the product and the warranty we can provide our customers. With Panasonic’s AllGuard Warranty, we have a lot of peace of mind as an installer. With their warranty, we are compensated for any work performed on the system for 25-years. This means any labor in replacement is not charged to the customer. The labor warranty is a huge differentiator. Plus, Panasonic is a global giant, in operation since 1918. I feel good about that historic corporate backing.”
Panasonic offers both solar modules and battery storage as part of their exclusive EVERVOLT® home energy portfolio, and Public Service Solar has been installing both at a rapid pace since 2022.
Panasonic EVERVOLT® solar modules
Panasonic EVERVOLT® solar modules are considered a premium solar module. The Panasonic Evervolt 420HK2 solar modules boast an impressive 22.7% efficiency on day one. The EVERVOLT®’s efficiency on day one beats most leading competitors. When compared to other competitor’s modules, like the Hanwha Q-Cells ML-G10+ Series solar modules with 20.9% efficiency, the EVERVOLT® modules are superior from day one.
By year-25, the Power Output of The EVERVOLT® 420HK2 comes in at an impressive 92%. That’s just 6 percentage points less over the course of 25 years. Through years of hot sun, cold winters, inclement weather, and daily use, the Panasonic Modules are more efficient at year-25 than many modules are at day one of operation! Compare that to Q-Cells, and it is not even close. Q-Cells degrade twice as fast as Panasonic Modules. Just like Panasonic, after year one, the Q-Cells promise a 98% Power Output. After that, Q-Cells annually degrade .50% making their efficiency 86% at year-25.
Panasonic Evervolt® Home Batteries
The demand for home batteries has been increasing. Public Service Solar installed dozens EVERVOLT® Home Battery Systems in 2024. The EVERVOLT® battery has massive storage capacity, at 18 kWh of usable power. It is even expandable to up to a 72 kWh battery. This large battery is important to markets in the Northeast. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey for example, battery storage is used for backup power, not for “peak shaving” which just means feeding battery power into the house to lower demand charges from the grid. When customers depend on a battery for whole home backup, it is important they have enough battery capacity installed to meet their needs. When compared to Tesla Powerwall 3, with just 13.5 kWh of usable capacity, it is clear Panasonic wins on storage. And just as Panasonic goes above and beyond with warranties for solar modules, the EVERVOLT® has a 12-year warranty compared to just 10-years for Powerwall 3.
Panasonic AllGuard Warranty
Panasonic offers both the AllGuard and TripleGuard Warranty to customers who purchase Panasonic solar products. Both the AllGuard and TripleGuard Warranty cover the total solar system. This is unique in the industry. Not only are they offering a warranty for 25-years on the solar modules, but also the inverters and racking. Its triple protection for the total system in one place. The difference between the AllGuard and TripleGuard is that the AllGuard comes with a labor warranty. This is extremely important and often overlooked when comparing warranties.
