There are two main types of solar panels that can be installed on your home. This accounts for the range in prices that you may face when planning your installation.
2) Amorphus Solar Panels
This type of solar panel consists of a thin film-like material made from silicon that is applied to stainless steel to conduct energy from the sun. These are less expensive to produce than the crystalline but less effective also.
1) Crystalline Solar Panels
These are the large plate-like panels you may see on the roofs of structures. These plates are made from crystals of silicon and can be broken down into the sub-categories of monocrystalline and polycrystalline. These subcategories simply account for the fact that a monocrystalline panel is one large crystal and polycrystalline panels appear like shattered glass with many smaller crystals.
Howdy,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! The green background is definitely theme-related.
Just curious, do you have cost break-downs for the two different types of solar panels and their output? What would be a quote for a median 3/2 house to be outfitted with both and what are the potential cost savings?
I'm interested as I want my family's home to be more environmentally-friendly and independent from the power grid.
Great blog so far and I'll definitely be following.
Cheers,
