Polycrystalline Solar Panel
Polycrystalline solar panels are the most traditional and popular type of solar panels available in the market. With an efficiency rate of 16% to 17%, the panels are highly cost- effective. And hence, they are the first choice of most solar consumers.
Polycrystalline solar panels are also known as poly solar panel, multi-crystalline or many-crystal silicon panels. Because there are many crystals in each cell. Poly crystal solar panels can be identified by their blueish appearance. Also, the panels have no round edges. In the outer structure of these panels, cells are square and the angles are uncut.
Monocrystalline Solar Panel
Monocrystalline solar panels are also called single crystalline silicon solar panels. Because these solar panels are made of a single piece of silicon crystal. These silicon crystals are cylindrical in shape. The silicon used to make these solar panels are high in purity. To increase the efficiency and maintain the cost, the solar cells are cut off from all its edges. Monocrystalline solar panels are also known for their dark black hue on their surface.
Mono PERC Solar Panel
PERC monocrystalline solar panel is the latest technology and powerful solar panel. It uses PERC cells which are considered to be the latest invention in the solar field.
PERC stands for Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact. This technology is invented to achieve higher power conversion efficiency by adding a dielectric passivation layer on the rear of the cell. Besides, the PERC technology saves your cells’ performance by preventing longer wavelengths from becoming heat and justifying the rear combination.
Bifacial Solar Panel
Bifacial solar panels can provide us with extra benefits over traditional solar panels. In bifacial solar panels the sunlight is absorbed by both sides to generate the power. In traditional solar panel only the front side of a panel can absorb the sunlight and the sunlight which cannot be absorbed is simply reflected away. But bifacial solar panels deal with this problem and produce extra power. They can produce electricity from the both sides.
Features of Mono Panel
Monocrystalline solar panels are superior in every way when compared to other similar options. There are many good features in monocrystalline solar panels.
- Highly Efficient: Monocrystalline solar panels are well known for their high power generating capacity. Especially, the bifacial monocrystalline solar modules guarantee the most decent levels of efficiency because of their unique and advanced designation. The efficiency of a mono crystal solar panel is much more than any other solar panel.
- Pure Silicon: It is made out of pure silicon crystal. While converting sunlight into energy, this purity factor makes the panel more powerful and Besides, they look better than polycrystalline solar panels.
- Space Efficient: Monocrystalline solar modules take the least space for installation.Hence, they don’t end up covering a big part of your roof for operating the solar power plant.
- Long life: These solar panels are highly durable. They are made from high-quality raw materials. As a result, the solar panels usually come with warranties of up to 25 years. The life span of these solar panels are more than 25 years.
Advantages of Monocrystalline
- Efficiency up to 21%.
- Occupy less space for installation.
- Gives you best output compare to polycrystalline solar panel.
- These panels produces power even on cloudy & non-sunny days.
- The estimated life of monocrystalline solar panels are more than 25 years.
Disadvantages of Monocrystalline
- Monocrystalline solar panels are expensive compare to polycrystalline panel.
- Due to corner cutting, in manufacturing process silicon gets wasted.
