Solar Panel Types
Monocrystalline Silicon
Monocrystalline solar cells have a photovoltaic conversion efficiency of around 18 percent, with the best reaching 24 percent, making them the most efficient solar cells available. They are durable and may last up to 25 years, but they are expensive to produce.
Polycrystalline silicon
Although the manufacturing procedure for polycrystalline silicon - cells is comparable to that of monocrystalline silicon solar cells, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of polycrystalline silicon solar cells is significantly lower at around 16%. It is less expensive than monocrystalline silicon solar cells. However, it has a shorter service life and poor cost performance.
Amorphous silicon
Amorphous silicon solar cells are a new type of thin-film solar cell that first emerged in 1976. The process is greatly simplified, silicon material consumption is minimal, and electricity consumption is modest. However, the main problem with amorphous silicon solar cells is their low photoelectric conversion efficiency, which is around 10% at the advanced international level and is not stable enough, with conversion efficiency decaying over time.
