What Should You Consider When Designing Your Solar Panels?


When you're designing your solar panels, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind. First and foremost, you'll want to maximize the energy you can harness from your solar panels. This is accomplished by carefully calculating the space available on your roof.


Additionally, you'll want to consider sun access to your home. This is important because solar panels are only as good as the sun they are receiving. Locate your panel in an area that receives sun exposure for most of the day, if not all day.


It also helps to consider the temperature of your roof when designing your solar panel package. Solar panels operate at optimal levels between 35-80 degrees Fahrenheit. When designing your solar panels, make sure you choose a package that will benefit your home's environment.

Solar Panel Types


There are a variety of different solar panels available on the market. Some of the most popular include:


Monocrystalline Panels:
These panels produce the most energy due to the panel's manufacturing process. They are manufactured in a way that causes the creation of a single crystal, which is more efficient than the thin film manufacturing method. However, they are more expensive than thin-film panels.


Thin Film Panels:
These panels are made up of multiple thin films. They are less efficient than monocrystalline panels, but they are cheaper to produce.


Multi-crystalline Panels:
These panels are produced by cutting multiple silicon crystals into square shapes. Because their manufacturing process is more efficient than monocrystalline panels, they are less efficient than thin-film panels. They are also cheaper to produce.
