Amorphous Solar Panels Vs Crystalline

Amorphous cells are constructed from a fine layer of silicon which enables solar panels to be more flexible and therefore lightweight.

Amorphous solar panels vs crystalline.

Amorphous cells can withstand higher temperatures without output being affected compared to poly or mono crystalline cells. 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. Quite often we re asked about the advantages of monocrystalline panels and polycrystalline solar modules over their amorphous thin film counterparts. Amorphous panels are also lighter in weight and more portable than monocrystalline or polycrystalline panels producing the same amount of energy.

A special version of our amorphous material is available and optimized for indoor light sources. 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. Particularly in home solar power grid connect systems and how they affect the life of a solar panel. 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.
