6. OUTPUT AND PHYSICAL SIZE OF THE SYSTEM
The system that you buy should cover all your energy requirements. The overall size of the
system and the wattage of the panels also influence the amount of electricity produced.
7. TYPES OF THE CELLS USED IN THE PANELS
Types of solar cells used in panels:
• Monocrystalline silicon cells: It has an excellent level of heat tolerance and is highly efficient
with less or no footprint.
• Polycrystalline silicon cells: Lower level of heat tolerance and efficiency than
monocrystalline. These cells are more affordable and quite popular in residential installation.
• Amorphous silicon cells: Not quite efficient and is low in the silicon content.
