Amorphous Solar Panels Vs Crystalline

Amorphous panels are also lighter in weight and more portable than monocrystalline or polycrystalline panels producing the same amount of energy.

Amorphous solar panels vs crystalline.

Particularly in home solar power grid connect systems and how they affect the life of a solar panel. Quite often we re asked about the advantages of monocrystalline panels and polycrystalline solar modules over their amorphous thin film counterparts. Amorphous panels can be made for much less than crystalline panels and it seems the industry is set up for self sabotage because they seem to want to do whatever it takes to make sure these amorphous panels stay high at ridiculous prices and or are impossible to get. Amorphous is lower cost than crystalline although it s less efficient in converting sunlight to energy and as a result requires a larger panel to deliver the same power as a smaller crystalline panel.

Amorphous cells can withstand higher temperatures without output being affected compared to poly or mono crystalline cells. A special version of our amorphous material is available and optimized for indoor light sources. They can also withstand the summer heat where mono or polycrystalline panels lose efficiency in the same ambient temperatures. Amorphous cells are constructed from a fine layer of silicon which enables solar panels to be more flexible and therefore lightweight.
