There are three main types of solar panels: monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and thin-film solar panels.
Monocrystalline silicon solar panels:
The photoelectric conversion efficiency of monocrystalline silicon solar cells is about 18%, with the highest reaching 24%. This is the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency among all types of solar cells, and its service life can reach 25 years.
Polycrystalline silicon solar panels:
The photoelectric conversion efficiency of polycrystalline silicon solar cells is much lower, and its photoelectric conversion efficiency is about 16%. The cost of production is low and hence it is developed in large quantities.
Thin-film solar panels:
Its main advantage is that it can generate electricity under low light conditions. However, the main problem of amorphous silicon solar cells is that the photoelectric conversion efficiency is low, about 10%, and it is not stable enough. As time goes by, its conversion efficiency decays.
Finally, there is the budget. Budget is the main factor, but don’t worry, a limited budget may result in a smaller initial installation, but leave room for expansion to accommodate future needs and budget increases. Pknergy will design commercial solar battery storage system construction for each project based on the company’s needs and budget, ensuring that all costs remain competitive within the industry.
