Crystalline Solar Panels Vs Amorphous

Crystalline panels do not perform as well in partial shading compared to amorphous cells and they do gradually lose a small percentage of output as the temperature rises above 25 c.

Crystalline solar panels vs amorphous.

Amorphous panels are also lighter in weight and more portable than monocrystalline or polycrystalline panels producing the same amount of energy. They can also withstand the summer heat where mono or polycrystalline panels lose efficiency in the same ambient temperatures. Crystalline panels need to be as perpendicular to the sun as possible to achieve the best performance. Particularly in home solar power grid connect systems and how they affect the life of a solar panel.

Amorphous has better indoor performance compared to crystalline in one test we conducted amorphous outperformed crystalline by 4x and we are constantly taking additional steps to make the material even better indoors. 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. In all our grid connect packages we only use good quality poly or monocrystalline panels except in very specific circumstances for the. Quite often we re asked about the advantages of monocrystalline panels and polycrystalline solar modules over their amorphous thin film counterparts.
