Amorphous Silicon Panel
Also called thin-film solar panel, amorphous silicon panels are completely different from Mono and Polycrystalline panels. The thin film solar panel has a flat black appearance. They operate at an average of 13% efficiency in solar power plants. Due to their lower efficiency than silicon solar panels, more space is needed.
The photovoltaic substance used in its production is variable and more than one substance combination can be used. The most common photovoltaic materials used are listed below, and although these panels are known as separate panel types, they are grouped under the thin panel category:
- Amorphous Silicon
- Cadmium Telluride (CdTe)
- Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CGIS)
- Paint-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSC)
