Crystalline Solar Panels Vs Amorphous

Amorphous has better indoor performance compared to crystalline in one test we conducted amorphous outperformed crystalline by 4x and we are constantly taking additional steps to make the material even better indoors.

Crystalline solar panels vs amorphous. A special version of our amorphous material is available and optimized for indoor light sources. Crystalline panels do not perform as well in partial shading compared to amorphous cells and they do gradually lose a small percentage of output as the temperature rises above 25 c. Crystalline panels need to be as perpendicular to the sun as possible to achieve the best performance. Amorphous is lower cost than crystalline although it s less efficient in converting sunlight to.

In all our grid connect packages we only use good quality poly or monocrystalline panels except in very specific circumstances for the. Amorphous offers the benefit of operating in lower light conditions and hence is suitable for many applications that are used in lighting since it will be able to put some charge into a battery at a lower light level than crystalline solar panels. Amorphous panels can be made for much less than crystalline panels and it seems the industry is set up for self sabotage because they seem to want to do whatever it takes to make sure these amorphous panels stay high at ridiculous prices and or are impossible to get. Amorphous panels are also lighter in weight and more portable than monocrystalline or polycrystalline panels producing the same amount of energy.
