Crystalline Solar Panels Vs Amorphous

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

Crystalline solar panels vs amorphous.

A special version of our amorphous material is available and optimized for indoor light sources. Crystalline panels need to be as perpendicular to the sun as possible to achieve the best performance. 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. 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 is lower cost than crystalline although it s less efficient in converting sunlight to. 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 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.
