There are two main types of solar panels, polycrystalline and monocrystalline, and they come in various different shapes, sizes and colours. Both types of panels do pretty much the same thing but there are some differences.
Polycrystalline panels are made up of silicon fragments that are melted together. They have a blue colour to them and generally a silver aluminium frame. They may not be as aesthetically pleasing as a monocrystalline panel but they are generally cheaper.
Monocrystalline panels are made up of single wafer cells and are designed with a black colour to them. They are a more efficient panel compared to polycrystalline and are ideal for when space is limited.
At the end of the day, it is a personal preference. If you have plenty of space and a limited budget then Polys are the way forward but if you are short of space and want the panels to blend in more with their surroundings then Monos are the way to go.
There are also other types of panels, so If you are looking for something a bit more bespoke such as solar tiles or in roof systems get in touch today to find out more.
