Hi I am trying to finish specifying my system and need to learn how to choose panels.
I'm using NREL SAM to configure the system, but choosing a panel so far in my journey has been more about looking at a couple of online vendors and searching by popularity for configuration prototyping. Now that I am ready to buy, I need to figure out how to do this empirically.
My goals for the panels:
Thanks!

My goals for the panels:
- These are going on a roof and real estate is a valuable factor that is not captured in $/W. Ideal panels are high wattage
- The geography is metro Denver, high altitude, hail and wind are factors
- The roof is tan tile, don't think they have enough albedo to justify bifacial
- Considering lifespan target at 10 years since I'll probably rotate by then
Thanks!
