Solar Panels
There are three main types of solar panels used in most residential, commercial, and industrial applications
Monocrystalline Solar Panels
Pros
- High efficiency
- Long lifespan
- Performs well in low light conditions
Cons
- More expensive
Polycrystalline Solar Panels
Pros
- Lower cost
- Good performance in sunlight
Cons
- Less efficient than mono
- Slightly lower aesthetics for some
Thin-Film Solar Panels
Pros
- Lightweight and flexible
- Performs well in low light and high heat
Cons
- Lower efficiency and shorter lifespan
- Requires more space
Monocrystalline Solar Panels
Monocrystalline solar panels are the most efficient and space-saving type of solar panel, made from a single crystal of pure silicon. They’re ideal for maximizing energy output in limited roof space and are known for their sleek black appearance.
Polycrystalline Solar Panels
Polycrystalline solar panels are a cost-effective and widely used solar technology made from melted fragments of silicon crystals. They offer a balance between performance and affordability, making them a popular choice for residential and commercial installations.
Thin-Film Solar Panels
Thin-film solar panels are lightweight, flexible, and ideal for unconventional surfaces, though they offer lower efficiency compared to crystalline silicon panels. They’re often used in commercial, industrial, and portable solar applications.
