Monocrystalline VS Polycrystalline Solar Panels
Different panel types of monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar manufacturing process Monocrystalline silicon is made by pulling slowly monokristaline when melele with used silicon Czochralski method for forming a silicon ingot .
A small piece of silicon crystal is used as the foundation of the liquid molecules .
By having a foundation , liquid molecules can be connected together to form ingots faster .
While crystal sedangng drawn and spun slowly and the temperature is lowered slowly .
It helped shape like a cylinder until it has the proper diameter at a constant temperature .
While Polycrystalline silicon prepared by a simple method .
Liquid silicone just put in a cast and cooled with crystals .
By using the casting method , and is not uniform around the crystal into many branches ,
smaller crystals , so it becomes " polycrystalline " or crystals that much .
Price .
Monocrystalline Solar panel types are more expensive than polycrystalline types of the same size .
Efficiency .
Monocrystalline cells have a higher efficiency than polycrystalline cells have a structure made of large crystal .
In addition to having a better overall efficiency , monocrystalline panels can perform up to 10 % better than the panel
polycrystalline at high temperatures .
Size
More efficient monocrystalline panels in size , the size of the solar panels are smaller than polycrystalline solar panels when compared with the same wattage .
If you are limited in size and want to get the most possible energy , monocrystalline panels are a better choice .
Patterns.
In terms of appearance , monocrystalline panels have a nice uniform color and have a more circular shape of the cell .
While polycrystalline cells in a box and have inconsistencies in the types of colors such as granite .
Age .
Although monocrystalline panels have the potential to last up to 50 years ,
but most of the warranty is only given at 15-20 years which is only capable of polycrystalline panels in 10-25 years .
