Question 1

What is the best type of solar panel suitable for Yemen's climate?

Accepted Answer

Panels with **N-Type** technology (such as Jinko Tiger Neo or Trina Vertex N models) are currently the optimal choice for the Yemeni market and its hot climate. This technology features a low temperature coefficient, meaning it loses less power at high temperatures compared to traditional panels (P-Type). It also offers higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and better resistance to Light Induced Degradation (LID), making it an excellent investment in Yemen.

Question 2

How much are solar panel prices currently in the Yemeni market?

Accepted Answer

Since global solar prices depend on the silicon market and shipping, prices in Yemen change periodically. At Al-Qatta Establishment, we are committed to providing the best competitive prices for original panels (like Jinko, Trina, and Longi). For an accurate and up-to-date price today, we recommend contacting our sales team directly or visiting the products page. Always remember that the "cheapest price" in the market often means counterfeit or Tier-2 products that do not last long.

Question 3

What is the difference between Mono and Poly panels?

Accepted Answer

The difference lies in silicon purity and efficiency. **Mono PERC** or N-Type panels are made of pure silicon crystals, giving them a uniform black color and higher efficiency in converting light to electricity, making them most suitable for limited spaces and hot climates. Poly (blue) panels are an older, less efficient technology that has become rarely used in modern projects in Yemen. At Al-Qatta, we only provide the latest Mono technologies to ensure the best performance for our customers.

Question 4

How many solar panels do I need to power my entire home?

Accepted Answer

Determining the number of panels depends precisely on your load list (AC units, fridges, operating hours). For example, a typical home in Sana'a running a fridge, lights, and TV might need a system of 4 to 8 panels of 580W. To run ACs during the day, you might need 12 panels or more. We offer a free "System Sizing" service, where our engineers calculate your needs accurately to avoid buying excess or insufficient panels.

Question 5

What is the real lifespan of solar panels?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels are considered one of the longest-lasting system components. The original panels we provide (Jinko, Trina, Longi) come with a linear performance warranty totaling **25 or 30 years**. This means the manufacturer guarantees the panel will continue producing at least 80-87% of its original power even after 25 years. This long-term investment makes solar energy the number one economic solution in Yemen compared to generators and commercial electricity.

Question 6

How do dust and Yemeni weather affect panel efficiency?

Accepted Answer

Dusty weather in Yemen can be an obstacle if not dealt with. Heavy dust accumulation can reduce panel productivity by 20-30%. Therefore, our golden advice is periodic cleaning of panels (every two weeks or as needed) using only water and soft tools to avoid scratching. Also, choosing an appropriate tilt angle during installation helps in the natural sliding of dust and rain, which we take into account when executing our projects.

Question 7

How can I ensure the panels I buy are original and not fake?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, the Yemeni market is full of fake panels (data label changed) or grade B panels. To ensure authenticity: 1) Always buy from an authorized dealer (like Al-Qatta). 2) Check the "Barcode" behind the glass and under the panel and ensure the serial number is registered with the parent company. 3) Check the quality of the frame and silicon and that cells are free of impurities. We guarantee in the sales contract that all our products are original and new (Grade A).
