This document discusses different types of solar panels that can be used for homes. It describes monocrystalline solar panels, which are the most efficient type due to being formed from a single silicon crystal. Polycrystalline solar panels are made from multiple silicon pieces and are less expensive than monocrystalline. Thin film solar panels do not use silicon and instead deposit photovoltaic cells onto a substrate, making them inexpensive and flexible to install. Hybrid solar cells combine monocrystalline and thin film technologies to achieve high efficiency.
2. Solar Power Systems
• At present trend, folks are completely aware of
renewable energies and they are interested in
implementing such things in home.
• This action is the beneficial for both the house and to the
earth.
• Solar is one of the most preferable choice, as they can be
trapped and used with ease.
• This sun power is utilized by many means like solar water
heater, solar cooker, solar charger, etc…
3. Solar Panels
• The solar panels are otherwise called as the photovoltaic
module, as they function on the photovoltaic effect.
• They play a major role in the solar power construction, as
they are the source to absorb the sun’s radiation.
• These panels are inbuilt in the
collectors(http://www.slideshare.net/leeshin12/types-of-
collectors-used-in-solar-power-installation) from which
the heat is transferred and the result is obtained.
• The below slides shows the list of some of the types of
solar panels used for the house.

5. Monocrystalline solar panels
• This mono crystalline type indicates that the panels are
formed from the single silicon where the four sides of
each silicon ingots are cut to form the spiral edge.
• This is the most efficient type of panel compared to other
types.
• This type of panel is stronger in nature which can be
recognized with its look.
• They are durable and perform efficiently even in low light
condition.They are very expensive and the cost deserve
the performance.

7. Polycrystalline solar panels
• On the contrary of monocrystalline type, this type of
panel is made of number of silicon which are then
melted and formed as silicon wafers.
• They do not have round edges, they are arranged in the
linear fashion to form the perfect solar panel.
• This type of solar panels are least expensive and are
implemented in most of the houses.
• The efficiency may be low compared to the
monocrysrtalline but that doesn’t show big variation in
the performance.

9. Thin film solar panels
• This panel does not have silicon in it, it is formed by
depositing the thin PV cells into the substrate.
• This type of solar panels is of many types based on the
substrate to be deposited used in the construction like
amorphous silicon, Cadmium telluride, Copper indium
gallium selenide, Organic photovoltaic cells.
• They are inexpensive, flexible for installation with
enhancing look.

11. Hybrid Solar Cells
• This type of solar panels are used as the combination of
mmonocrystalline and the thin film types.
• The efficiency of this type of solar panels are even more
higher than other types, as they can produce the effect
of two types of solar panels.
• This also very expensive type of solar panels.

13. • these are the common types of solar panels used for
the house hold systems.
• Glazerindia (http://glazerindia.com) is one of the
solar water heater producers In India.
• They provide number of solar water heaters of all
types like domestic solar water heater, industrial
solar water heater, commercial solar water heater.
