Welcome,
today we would be looking at some of the different types of solar panel that
are available.
Intro
So you have made up your mind to install a
solar energy system in your home or maybe your office, you go to purchase the
solar panels you need, after some time of searching and surveying, you get
confused, why ? You realized that there are different types of solar panels.
·
How
do you decide which to buy??
·
What
are the various advantages and disadvantages of the different panels
·
What
are their unique features, the distinguishing characteristics that make each
differ from the rest.
Now we would be
looking at three common types of panels we have available
1
Monocrystalline solar cells
Description
Monocrystalline
Solar panels are dark black in color, they have the highest efficiency compared
to the other types of Solar panels, that means is the best type of solar panel
out of the three.
If there is a competition to find out who
would generate more electricity between the three types of Solar panel for a
particular wattage, The Mono crystalline solar panel would win with a landslide
victory
Advantages
.1) It has
a very high efficiency rating
Disadvantages
.1) It is
very expensive
2. POLY-CRYSTALLINE
Description
Poly-crystalline
cell are either light or dark blue in color,they are not as efficient as the
mono-crystalline types,
Advantages
.1)
They are cheaper than their mono-crystalline counter parts
Disadvantages
.1)
They are not as efficient mono-crystalline cells
