Solar Panels Canada: There are many different types of solar panels, in a variety of sizes, wattages, and voltages. Some of these types of solar panels include Amorphous Solar Panels, Mon/Poly Crystalline Solar Panels, Concentrator Solar Panels and Flexible Solar Panels.

Solar Panels are available in a variety of types, sizes, wattages and voltages.

Solar Panel Basics:

The most common types of solar panels available include Amorphous Solar Panels, Mono and Poly Crystalline Solar Panels, Concentrator Solar Panels, and Flexible Solar Panels. A brief explanation of each of these four different types of solar panels follows.

Amorphous Solar Panels:

Amorphous Solar Panels are made by applying a conductive film to a glass front before encasing this in a framework of either metal or plastic. This is the type of solar panel which is typically find in solar calculators. Their affordablility and their efficiency makes these solar panels a popular choice. They are even reliable in conditions on hazy and overcast days.

Silicon Solar offers a complete range of Amorphous Solar Panels, in a variety of wattages and voltages. The Silicon Solar line of Amorphous Solar Panels features incredible GridMaxx Solar Panels. These solar panels are available starting at under $130 for a 15 watt panel.

Mono/Poly Crystalline Solar Panels:

Mono/Poly Crystalline Solar Panels begin with a Silicon Solar Cell. The Solar Cell is encapsulated in a metal frame, and a convex front made of glass or plastic is added. In good lighting conditions, this particular type of Solar Panel are highly efficient. They are popular for use in Grid-Tie and Off-Grid Solar Systems all over the world. GridMaxx SI Solar panels rated at 110 watts and 165 watts are among the Silicon Solar line of Mono/Poly-Crystalline Solar Panels.

Concentrator Solar Panels:

Concentrator Solar Panels are among the most efficient Solar Panels available. The solar cells are encapsulated in metal frames and convex cover made from glass or plastic is placed over the front. The curves involved are the aspect of these solar panels which allows them to focus the light of the sun more directly onto the solar cells. In this way, these solar panels are made to require fewer solar cells than other solar panels and deliver an even more cost effective performance. Concentrator Solar Panels from Silicon Solar start at under $85 and are available in 10 watt, 20 watt, 108 watt and 145 watt models.

Flexible Solar Panels:

Flexible solar panels are ideal for portable and travel solar applications, since they can be rolled and folded up and easily transported wherever you need to go. Hikers and campers can take power with them to even the most remote locations. Flexible Solar Panels available from Silicon Solar include 12 volt commercial models in 5, 10 and 20 watts, and Foldable Solar Panels which are rated for desert/military conditions, in wattages as small as 6.5 watts and as large as 55 watts.
