Amorphous vs Crystalline Solar Panels: What''s the Difference?
Crystalline solar panels are made of silicon crystals that are 99.9999% pure silicon and made especially for use in semiconducting materials, such as solar panels. These are the traditional solar panels that most people have probably seen before and are what you likely have in your mind when thinking about solar panels.
Multicrystalline Silicon Cell
Additionally, amorphous silicon absorbs light more effectively than crystalline silicon, which leads to thinner cells, also known as a thin film PV technology. Thin film solar has approximately 15% market share; the other 85% is crystalline silicon [23].
