Difference Between Poly crystalline, Mono crystalline and Thin-film Solar Panels in Tabular Form
A Solar made of array of solar cells and a solar cell is made numbers of photo voltaic cell. A photo voltaic cell is Silicon crystals are laminated into n-type and p-type layers, stacked on top of each other. Sun Light striking the crystals induces the “photo voltaic effect,” which generates electricity. It generated DC Powered By Which We Convert into Commercial Use.
Different Types of Solar Panel
- Mono-crystalline
- Poly-crystalline
- Thin-film
| Sno. | Basic Terms | Poly-crystalline | Mono-crystalline | Thin-film |
| 1. | Definition | Poly crystalline solar cells are also known as poly-silicon and multi-silicon cells. | Mono crystalline solar cells are also known as single crystalline cells. | They are also known as thin-film photo-voltaic cells (TFPV). |
| 2. | Manufactured | The process used to make poly-crystalline silicon is simpler and cost less. | Mono-crystalline solar panels live the longest. by Mono-crystalline silicon or single-crystal silicon the solar panel manufacturers makes more efficient. | Depositing one or several thin layers of photo-voltaic material onto a substrate is the basic gist of how thin-film solar cells are manufactured. |
| 3. | Cost | Cheap | Costly | So Cheap or Lower Cost |
| 4. | Efficiency Limits(%) | 13-16% | 15-21% | 7-13% |
| 5. | Space-efficient | Require higher installation space area | Smaller installation space area | Small Size Area |
| 6. | Life-Span in Years | 25-30 | 30-40 years | 20 years |
| 7. | Chemical Element | Poly-crystalline silicon | Mono-crystalline silicon or single-crystal silicon | cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS), & amorphous thin-film silicon (a-Si, TF-Si). |
| 8. | Performance | Required Properly Heat+Light | Works in also Low Light + Heat | performs very well at weak light or on cloudy and rainy days |
| 9. | Colour | Blue Colour | Dark Black Colour | Dark Black Colour |
| 10. | Flexibility | No | No | Yes |
| 11. | Used or Usage | Used in both residential and commercial installations. | Used in large scale solar applications, such as commercial (Hotel,Schools,factory,Office) and residential solar installations. Basically use in buildings where roof tops are less in used. | Small size Application like calculator, Power Banks, Bag packs or Any Portable device |
| 12. | Identification | Square | Octagonal | Square |
