Solar Module

Product Description

The cells of a monocrystalline solar panel are cut from a chunk of silicon that has been grown from a single crystal that grows in only one direction or plane. Monocrystalline solar panels are more efficient in converting the sun’s rays to electricity.Polycrystalline cell material is grown from multifaceted silicon crystalline material. More surface area is required due to inherent flaws in the material and polycrystalline solar panels are less efficient in converting the sun’s rays.

Choosing between monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar cells is not easy. Both are made from crystalline silicon, the most efficient semiconductor material on the market today, but in different waves. A monocrystalline panel is made of individual silicon wafers all cut from the same cylindrical ingot. Polycrystalline panels, sometimes referred to as multicrystalline, are made from cast square ingots of silicon produced by cooling and solidifying molten silicon.
