🇮🇳 हिंदी में पढ़े:
Monocrystalline solar panels are also called single crystalline silicon solar panels. Because these solar panels are made of a single piece of silicon crystal. These silicon crystals are cylindrical in shape. The silicon used to make these solar panels are high in purity. To increase the efficiency and maintain the cost, the solar cells are cut off from all its edges. Monocrystalline solar panels are also known for their dark black hue on their surface.
There are various types and capacities in monocrystalline solar panel, so it’s worth spending 10 minutes reading the complete information and selecting the best that meets all your needs.

How Monocrystalline Panels Work?
Monocrystalline solar panels use their space-efficient pure silicon cells to absorb the sunlight in the daytime. The sunlight that strikes the surface of the monocrystalline solar panel creates an electric field inside the conductor. The electric field produced through the complex physical process generates electricity. The electricity generated is direct current and is operated by the equation: Power = voltage * current.
For running home appliances the electricity generated is converted to AC using an inverter and for storing the power, a battery is required.

#3. Bifacial Solar Panel
Bifacial solar panels can provide us with extra benefits over traditional solar panels. In bifacial solar panels the sunlight is absorbed by both sides to generate the power. In traditional solar panel only the front side of a panel can absorb the sunlight and the sunlight which cannot be absorbed is simply reflected away. But bifacial solar panels deal with this problem and produce extra power. They can produce electricity from the both sides. You can get the maximum benefit of the panels increasing their production up to 30% by installing a bifacial solar panel on a highly reflective surface.
Available in many designs including framed and frameless, dual glass and clear back sheets, the bifacial solar panels have bus bars on both the surfaces – rear and front. They demonstrate higher energy production, better low light performance, significant savings and lower temperature coefficient. Undoubtedly, bifacial solar modules are the future of the solar industry.
