Various Types of Solar Panels

Various Types of Solar Panels
2

• Whether you are getting a 5kW solar system in
  Melbourne or 6.6kW or 7kW or 10kW or 20kW or
  30kW, regardless of which system you get, you
  should know the types of solar panels that you
  could get. For a 5kW solar system in Melbourne,
  you will need around 15 panels. Now the solar
  panels come in various sizes and material types.
  In this blog we will talk about the three major
  and popular types of solar panels.

Monocrystalline Solar Panels

• Monocrystalline solar panels are the oldest ones
  and yet very developed. As you may have guessed,
  monocrystalline solar panels consist of
  monocrystalline solar cells. The panel has 40
  monocrystalline solar cells and these cells are
  made from pure silicone. The cells look black as
  the result of the interaction between the pure
  silicone and the sunlight. The cells look black
  but the buyer can get the options in frames and
  back sheets.

• Some of the Advantages of Monocrystalline Cells
• Pyramid shaped placement, which provides better
  surface area resulting in better energy
  production.
• Higher efficiency rates of the solar cells
• Durability up to 30 years
• Higher heat resistance levels
• Considering the benefits, monocrystalline solar
• panels can be quite costly.

5
Polycrystalline Solar Panels

• Polycrystalline solar panels have several
  crystals of silicone in each photovoltaic cell.
  You must have seen the navy blue solar panels,
  those are the polycrystalline solar panels. They
  are the most popular and common ones hence most
  solar panels that you may have seen would have
  been blue. The polycrystalline solar panel is
  also known as multicrystalline solar panels. The
  silicone crystals are melted and then cut into
  wafers. Those wafers are put into the panels. The
  surface of the multicrystalline solar panels look
  mosaic. The blue colour is because of the
  silicone crystals.

• The Advantages of Multicrystalline Cells
• More eco-friendly than polycrystalline solar
  panels
• Simple manufacturing process which makes it less
  expensive
• Less silicone consumption
• The multicrystalline solar panels have low heat
  tolerance and
• that makes them less efficient in high
  temperature
• conditions.

7
Thin-Film Panels

• Thin-film solar panels are 350 times thinner than
  the regular silicon wafers. They are second
  generation panels. The uniqueness of thin-film
  solar panels lies in their material. They can be
  made from various materials such as cadmium
  telluride, amorphous silicon or copper indium
  gallium selenide.

8

• Thin-film panels are second generation panels
  which means they have certain advantages which is
  making their popularity grow rapidly
• They are flexible
• They can be made from different materials
• Less installation costs
• Lightweight construction
• There is one downside to thin-film solar panels
  and that is their low efficiency. In fact
  thin-film solar panels have the lowest
  efficiency among all the solar panel types. Their
  efficiencyrate reaches around 11 per cent.

9

• Solar energy system is the future as it is one of
  the very few ways to stop the earth from getting
  destroyed with global warming and climate change.
  Solar energy is a renewable source which means
  its use makes you a contributor towards the
  betterment of our mother nature which will save
  the planet earth.
