Technical FAQs 4

What is a polycrystalline solar panel?

Similar to monocrystalline panels, polycrystalline panels are made of silicon solar cells. However, the cooling process is different, which causes multiple crystals to form, as opposed to one. Polycrystalline panels used on residential homes usually contain 60 solar cells. 3. Thin-film

What is a monocrystalline solar panel?

Monocrystalline solar panels have black-colored solar cells made of a single silicon crystal and usually have a higher efficiency rating. However, these panels often come at a higher price. Polycrystalline solar panels have blue-colored cells made of multiple silicon crystals melted together.

What is the difference between monocrystalline solar panels and inverters?

When comparing the price of both panel types, remember that monocrystalline solar panels have a higher cost. Meanwhile, the cost of inverters, wiring, electrical protections, racking, and labor is the same for both.

How much power does a monocrystalline solar panel produce?

Most monocrystalline panels on the market today will have a power output rating of at least 320 watts, but can go up to around 375 watts or higher! Polycrystalline panel efficiency ratings will typically range from 15% to 17%. The lower efficiency ratings are due to how electrons move through the solar cell.
