What are the material types of solar panels

2021-04-21

The main material of photovoltaic solar panels is crystalline silicon, which is also the mainstream material for solar cells.

The demand for polysilicon mainly comes from semiconductors and solar cells. According to different purity requirements, it is divided into electronic grade and solar grade.

1. Monocrystalline silicon solar cells have higher photoelectric conversion efficiency among solar cells.
Since monocrystalline silicon is generally encapsulated with toughened glass and waterproof resin, it is strong.

2. The production process of polycrystalline silicon solar cells is similar to that of monocrystalline silicon solar cells.
The material is easy to manufacture, saves electricity consumption, and the total production cost is low, so it has been developed in a large amount.

3. Amorphous silicon solar cell has simplified process, low silicon material consumption and low power consumption. Its main advantage is that it can generate electricity even in low light conditions.

The above are the commonly used materials for solar panels. If you want to know more about solar power systems and products, please contact us.
