monocrystalline

monocrystalline

To make solar cells for monocrystalline solar panels, silicon is formed into bars and cut into wafers. These types of panels are called “monocrystalline” to indicate that the silicon used is single-crystal silicon.

polycrystalline

polycrystalline

Polycrystalline solar panels are also referred to as “multi-crystalline,” or many-crystal silicon.

amorphous

amorphous

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is the non-crystalline form of silicon used for solar cells and thin-film transistors in LCDs. Used as semiconductor material for a-Si solar cells, or thin-film silicon solar cells, it is deposited in thin films onto a variety of flexible substrates, such as glass, metal and plastic.

flatPlaneCollector

flatPlaneCollector

A type of solar collector consisting of a series of flat glass or plastic plates with black metal surfaces that absorb solar energy.

evacuatedTubeCollector

evacuatedTubeCollector

Evacuated tube solar collectors convert energy from the sun into usable heat in a solar water heating system. This energy can be used for domestic and commercial hot water heating, pool heating, space heating or even air conditioning.
