The materials of floating solar panels mainly include the following:
Monocrystalline silicon: Monocrystalline silicon solar cells have a high conversion efficiency, usually between 14%-17%, and up to 24%. The atoms of monocrystalline silicon are arranged in an orderly periodic manner in space, and this orderliness is conducive to the improvement of photoelectric conversion efficiency.
Polycrystalline silicon: The conversion efficiency of polycrystalline silicon solar cells is about 13% to 15%, and up to 20%. Polycrystalline silicon is composed of a collection of many single crystal particles, with a short production time and low manufacturing cost.
Amorphous silicon: Amorphous silicon solar cells have a balance of cost and efficiency, and usually have a lower manufacturing cost and good weak light performance.
