Solar Photo Voltaic

Monocrystalline panels use crystalline silicon, a basic semiconductor

material. Crystalline silicon is produced in large sheets that can be

cut to a specific size and used as one large cell in a panel. Conducting

metal strips are laid over the entire cell to collect electrons from

the cell into an electrical current.

These panels are more expensive to produce than the polycrystalline

panels that follow. However, they are highly efficient and are more

cost-effective in the long run as a result. Monocrystalline panels are

typically 15-18% efficient, meaning that for every unit of solar energy

that hits the cell, the panel can convert 15-18% of this energy into

electricity.

WSE also carries a wide range of smaller and specialty solar panels.

These include polycrystalline, laminated PV modules, and Flectional

solar panels. Contact Home Synergy for more information.
