Product type
Polycrystalline solar cells are a type of photovoltaic cell made from multiple silicon crystals. They are produced by melting silicon fragments together, which creates a structure that is less expensive to manufacture compared to monocrystalline cells. These solar cells convert sunlight into electricity, making them an essential component in solar panels used for renewable energy generation.
| Efficiency range | 15% to 20% |
| Typical thickness | 160 to 200 micrometers |
| Temperature coefficient | -0.3% to -0.5% per °C |
| Standard cell size | 156mm x 156mm or 158mm x 158mm |
| Warranty period | 25 years for performance |
When selecting polycrystalline solar cells, buyers should consider the efficiency rating, as this will affect the overall energy output. It's also important to specify the desired temperature coefficient, which indicates how performance may vary with temperature changes. Certifications such as IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 can ensure quality and reliability. Additionally, buyers should determine the quantity needed based on the scale of their solar project.
