are there more than 1 type off solar panels quality wise i mean and where is the best supplier to buy from im looking for panels that are 550mm wide all help appreciated
 
All the cells are made in China these days, the main difference with the cheaper panels is the quality of the frame they tend to be stronger on the more expensive ones.
 
Strong advice, that others here will corroborate is to avoid the flexi panels. I have a 3-layer pile stuck to my roof, all failed after a short time and instead of saving weight they are adding to it. Now I have a non-flexi one on top. Wish I'd known this before starting down that road.
 
Generally the flexible panels get too hot and crack after a few years, not enough ventilation underneath.
The connections break down.
The efficiency goes down more than framed panels as well as the heat builds up quicker.
The colder the panel the more juice it will produce,
