Article Category: Computers and Technology

Author Name: Nick Morgan

You may have already heard of the newest energy buzz; PV panels have become the talk of the town in that they are considered Earth saving devices. You have even seen some of the homes in your neighborhood or those of nearby residences having such technology installed in their electrical systems. Now, you have started contemplating whether to have one installed in your home or not to help you save on the cost of energy. Several resources only speak of the benefits of having home photovoltaics system, which is just a fancy term for the system of solar panels used to generate electricity from the sun. You have the specifics covered and know that in the long run, the system is reputed to be sustainable, efficient, and so on and so forth.

Before you get one of your very own PV system, here are some of the must-know information about the types of solar PV panels to help you in the selection of the right one:

1. Amorphous type. If you want to have a feel of having a PV system installed in your homes, this type should be your top priority. The amorphous type is also known as thin film solar panel and is considered the most cheap and affordable of all the types. It provides the added advantage of being flexible. Thus, you can have such type fit any shape of roofing or structure where you plan to install the panels. Its flexibility allows you to try a variety of placements to see which is more efficient in harvesting energy from the sun. Specific positions allow more light energy to be absorbed depending on your orientation and time of the day. Thus, some people prefer such type, although it is less efficient than the others.

2. Monocrystalline type. Solar panels of the monocrystalline type are manufactured from a large crystal cut from a mass of metal called ingots. By providing almost twelve to twenty percent efficiency, the monocrystalline type is considered the most efficient of all the types. Because of this, they are also the most expensive. If you want to make a PV system as a permanent additional source of energy and are willing to spend a large amount of sum for environmental pursuits, then you should consider investing in monocyrstalline solar panels.

3. Polycrystalline type. This is made from silicon casted from huge blocks. This type of solar panel gives a mix of both the advantages derived from the previous two types. In terms of efficiency, the polycrystalline type is less efficient than the monocrystalline but more efficient than the amorphous type. Thus, in terms of cost, it is also in between. If you want an alternative source of electricity during power shortages, this is the type of solar panel to invest in.

Solar PV panels have become a common component of home electrical systems. Although it allows you to save in the long run, having one installed can be quite costly. It is thus important to make sure that what you have will meet your energy needs.
