Different types of Solar Panels

Let’s talk about the basic types of solar panels and how they’re used.
•Monocrystalline silicon (mono-silicon or single silicon)

Right now, these are the most efficient type of solar panels. In other words, when sunlight hits these puppies, more of it turns into electricity than the other types below. As a result of their high silicon content, they’re also more expensive, but you need fewer of them. That’s why they’re ideal for roofs. You can tell if you have a monocrystalline solar panel by its square-ish cells.




Polycrystalline silicon (multicrystalline, multi-silicon, ribbon)

“Poly” panels have lower silicon levels than “mono” panels. In general, that makes them less expensive to produce, but they’re also slightly less efficient. The good news is that their overall construction design can often make up for the efficiency loss, so they’re also good for roofs. You can tell poly-silicon panels by their groovy mélange of silicon woven through thin rectangular conduit wires.






Thin film (amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium (di)selenide)

Thin film solar panels are very inefficient, which means you’ll see them in big solar farm projects with a lot of land, but not on your roof.

  1. This is what many home owners don't realize when they think about installing solar panels. They assume "one size fits all" meaning; it doesn't matter what type or how many they're buying, they just want to fill their roof with infinite electricity.

  3. The changing times of the modern world has brought about an increased consumption for electricity and different kinds of available fuel. There are different types of electronic gadgets and increased standards of lifestyle equipments that have also put a strain on the supply of electric power sources. So it's the right time for us to switch to the renewable energy resources.

  16. my MPPT solar charger controller reads in celcius on my battery monitor, think they all do, must have to do with the programming, it is very important to have battery temp sensor, so your batteries get charged the right way at different temperatures, on a lighter note be careful climbing on ladders that are not rated for the load on them.

  23. Excellent information provided by you through this post. I followed all the mentioned information. Now a day’s Solar Panels are high in demand. Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage. If you want to know about camping solar systems then you can visit us at: www.flexible-solar-panel.com.
