Amorphous Solar Panels Vs Crystalline

Particularly in home solar power grid connect systems and how they affect the life of a solar panel.

Amorphous solar panels vs crystalline.

They can also withstand the summer heat where mono or polycrystalline panels lose efficiency in the same ambient temperatures. 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 offers the benefit of operating in lower light conditions and hence is suitable for many applications that are used in lighting since it will be able to put some charge into a battery at a lower light level than crystalline solar panels. Amorphous panels are also lighter in weight and more portable than monocrystalline or polycrystalline panels producing the same amount of energy.

Quite often we re asked about the advantages of monocrystalline panels and polycrystalline solar modules over their amorphous thin film counterparts. In all our grid connect packages we only use good quality poly or monocrystalline panels except in very specific circumstances for the. 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.
