WHAT ARE SOLAR PANELS

Solar panels are the fundamental component of solar energy systems. These panels convert sunlight directly into electrical energy using photovoltaic technology. The cells are made of semiconductor materials like silicon, which absorb photons from sunlight and release electrons, creating an electric current.

TYPES OF SOLAR PANELS

• Monocrystalline: High efficiency and uniform appearance
• Polycrystalline: Lower cost with medium efficiency
• Thin-Film: Flexible and lightweight but with lower efficiency

Selection Factors

• Conversion Efficiency
• Durability
• Performance Warranty
• Cost
