In recent decades, solar panel technology has evolved significantly, allowing for remarkable innovation. Advances include greater solar cell efficiency, the introduction of new and more abundant materials, advancements in manufacturing techniques, and flexible designs.
Today, solar panel technology has advanced to the point where panels now achieve conversion efficiencies exceeding 20% or even 25%. This means that solar photovoltaic (PV) systems can convert nearly a quarter of the sunlight they receive into clean, renewable energy.
These panels are known to be the most efficient in standard test conditions, with an efficiency of 22-27%. They are dark in color and have rounded edges.
These panels capture sunlight from both sides, which increases energy production.
These cells are a promising alternative to silicon-based cells, with lab efficiencies surpassing 33%.
DCR panels meet the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) policy, while non-DCR panels do not.DCR panels are made domestically, while non-DCR panels are usually imported.
DCR panels are often used in government projects and incentives, while non-DCR panels are more common in the private sector.
DCR panels support local manufacturing and the domestic solar industry, while non-DCR panels may be more cost-effective and offer more flexibility.
The choice between DCR and non-DCR solar panels depends on several factors, including: government policies, project requirements, budget constraints, and long-term energy goals.
You can use a QR code to check the DCR certificate on-site. Once claimed, a DCR cannot be reclaimed.
A Solar Module Mounting Structure (MMS) is a framework that holds up solar panels and allows them to be tilted at the right angle to maximize energy generation. MMSs are essential for both rooftop and ground-based solar installations.
The proper tilt angle for solar panels is important because it maximizes the amount of solar radiation that falls on the panels, which leads to higher energy yields and improved overall performance
Seasonal optimization: The sun's angle changes with the seasons, so adjusting the tilt angle allows for maximum energy production year-round.
Geographic location: The optimal tilt angle varies depending on the location of the solar installation. For example, locations closer to the equator may benefit from flatter tilt angles, while those at higher latitudes may require steeper angles.
East-west orientation: East-west facing panels can produce a more balanced energy production throughout the day. This can be more efficient for homes that have a steady consumption of electricity during the day.
The type of MMS used depends on the surface of the installation.
MMSs should be designed to withstand various environmental conditions.
Mandatory standards for MMSs can ensure quality and safety, and make them globally competitive.
Mounting equipment adds about 4.5 pounds per square foot to the total weight of a solar panel installation.
Corrosion resistance:
HDG steel is resistant to corrosion from the sun's UV rays, extreme temperatures, and other elements.
HDG steel is often used for solar panel frames, mounts, and posts. It can last for 72–120 years or more in atmospheric environments, and over 75 years in most soil conditions.
