WHAT ARE THE 3 TYPES OF SOLAR PANELS?
The decision of installing solar panels in your
home, business, or office is great. You will be
generating power not only for your consumption,
but you can earn by giving the surplus power to
the central power grid. Before you go deeper
into the technical aspects of solar panels, you
should understand three types of solar panels.
Different types of solar panels are made for
different conditions.

MONOCRYSTALLINE SOLAR PANELS
These panels have been there in the market for
quite a long time. When we think about solar
panels installed in the home, they are normally
Monocrystalline type. Solar panels are capable of
producing power even when the sunlight is low.
They are slightly more expensive than other types
of panels. It is because their manufacturing
process is more complex. The panel consists of
crystals, and they get impacted by very high
temperatures. Therefore, they are suitable in
countries where the sunlight is moderate even in
summer. They have a shimmering blue tone, and
their work efficiency is 15 to 20 percent.
However, after 25 years, you can expect 12 to 15
percent efficiency from these panels.

POLYCRYSTALLINE SOLAR PANELS
They are quite commonly installed nowadays, but
their efficiency is a little less than
Monocrystalline type solar panels. If there is
plenty of space available, then these panels can
be installed. They are suitable in farms and
large plants. As mentioned before, they are
slightly cheaper than monocrystalline solar
panels because their manufacturing process is
simpler. These panels consist of several
monocrystalline solar panel crystals in each
cell. They are not as sensitive to high
temperatures as monocrystalline panels are. The
efficiency is between 15 to 20 percent. However,
after 25 years, you can expect 12 to 15 percent
efficiency from these panels.

THIN FILM SOLAR PANELS
The manufacturing process and appearance of thin
film solar cells differ from crystalline solar
cells. They are made from a flexible material.
Therefore, it is possible to use them on rounded
surfaces in the form of round cells. They can be
glued directly to roof tiles. They are cheaper
than crystalline solar panels, but they have a
shorter lifespan. They have a thin layer of
silicon applied to metal, glass, plastic, or
silicon. They do not get affected by high
temperatures. They look like thin black film. The
efficiency is 10 to 15 percent. As technology
evolves, more efficient and low-cost solar panels
are being developed.
