Types of Solar Panels

  • Monocrystalline panels: High efficiency (15-20%), made from single silicon crystals, sleek black appearance.
  • Polycrystalline panels: Lower efficiency (13-16%), blue hue, made from multiple silicon fragments.
  • Thin-film panels: Lightweight and flexible, lower efficiency (10-13%), used in large-scale installations.

Solar System Types

  • Grid-tied systems: Connected to utility grid, excess power fed back for credits (net metering).
  • Off-grid systems: Independent, use batteries to store energy, ideal for remote locations.
  • Hybrid systems: Combine grid-tied and battery storage, provide backup during outages.
