ATM - Basics of Solar Panels or Photovoltaics - Final
Monocrystalline is the most efficient type of solar panel, made from a single crystal structure. Polycrystalline panels, with multiple silicon crystals, offer a budget-friendly option but slightly lower efficiency. Thin-film/amorphous panels are lightweight and flexible, perfect for portable energy solutions but less efficient. Each type works with an inverter to convert power for home use or to charge a battery for off-grid applications. Choose the right solar panel to maximize your energy needs!
