Technical FAQs 4

What are the different types of solar panels?

Discover the six main types of solar panel, including thin-film, perovskite, and the best type for your home: monocrystalline. What kind of home do you live in? When you’re considering whether to get solar panels, it’s a good idea to look into all the different types, to ensure you choose the best system for your home.

What type of solar panel should I choose?

The type of solar panel you should choose depends on the type of system you want to install. For a traditional rooftop solar panel system, you'll usually want monocrystalline panels due to their high efficiency. If you have a big roof with a lot of space, you might choose polycrystalline panels to save money upfront.

What is the best solar panel type?

Whilst monocrystalline is considered the best solar panel type and continues to dominate with a 90-95% share of the market, other panel types like PERC and thin-film panels are becoming increasingly common.

What are photovoltaic solar panels?

Photovoltaic solar panels are devices specifically designed for the generation of clean energy from sunlight. In general, photovoltaic panels are classified into three main categories: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film panels.
