What types of solar panels are there?
2022/03/10
Solar panels are broadly classified into the following three types.

Monocrystalline solar panel
The solar cells in this panel are single and have a flat-back structure. Panels typically consist of 60-72 solar cells, depending on size. They offer the most suitable options for residential projects. The appearance of solar panels makes them a popular choice for homeowners.

These panels have the highest power capacity of all the different types of solar panels. Since panels are highly efficient, they require very little space to generate a certain amount of power capacity. This means that you will need fewer monocrystalline solar panels to generate the same amount of energy than other types of panels. The superior performance of this panel makes it a popular choice. However, it is relatively expensive and the highest quality panels fall into this category.

Polycrystalline Solar Panel
It is a module composed of polycrystalline solar cells in different series and parallel modes. The conversion efficiency of polycrystalline solar cells is about 14%-18%. There will be some colorful colors on the surface, but they are mainly blue, and the surface also has grid line. This type of panel is ideal if you plan to install solar panels but are on a budget. The efficiency is lower than that of monocrystalline solar panels. But with the development of new technologies, the gap in efficiency has narrowed to a certain extent. Due to the lower price of panels, they are widely used in residential installations.

Thin Film Solar Panels
This form of solar panel is quite different from the other two types and is not suitable for home use. The lightweight and flexible nature of the panel makes the installation process easier. They are used in industrial solar installations and are less efficient. Compared to monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar panels, the low performance makes it necessary to install thinner panels to generate the same amount of energy. This means that more space is required to install such panels, making them unsuitable for residential projects. Panels have a shorter lifespan and degrade faster than the other two types of panels.
