Solar Panel Technologies

Monocrystalline Solar Panels

Monocrystalline panels are a proven technology that has been widely used for over 50 years. They have a higher conversion efficiency which provides high annual yields and makes them ideal for areas where space is limited. Monocrystalline requires high grade silicon which can be costly to make.

Polycrystalline Solar Panels

Polycrystalline panels are installed widely thoughout Australia and tend to outperform monocrystalline modules on hotter days and in lower light conditions. They are usually marginally less space efficient though, and take up slightly more area as a result. Polycrystalline silicone cells have a simpler manufacturing process than monocrystalline.

Thin Film Hybrid Solar Panels

Thin Film has great low light and shade performance qualities, as well as high temperature tolerance. Thin Film will yield more energy per Watt (kWh/kW) than any other solar panel, but is less space efficient and requires more physical area. Thin Film modules have less embodied energy, giving them a shorter energy payback period.

Thin Film Hybrid modules combine thin film with multicrystalline in order to improve space efficiency while maintaining thin film’s other attractive qualities.

Which solar panels are right for your off-grid system?

Solar Panels represent the most reliable, predictable, low cost and low maintenance source of energy for offgrid and grid connected power systems.

Mounting

Solar panel modules are typically mounted on the roof or on ground mounted frames, depending on your property and needs.

Type & Quantity

The type and number of solar panels needs to be matched to your ‘load profile’ (a detailed plan of your power usage) to ensure you have enough panels to provide your electricity through the day and to fill the batteries for power usage at night.

Technology

We offer a range of solar technologies from leading manufacturers, ensuring the right technology is utilised for your situation. We always gain a full understanding of your power needs, both current and in the future, before recommending which battery should be paired with your off-grid system.

Your Preferences

Your preferences in relation to country of manufacture and technology type are always taken into account. The solar panels below are listed to educate you on the main points for each one, so that you have a better understanding of their benefits when we quote on your off-grid system.

Please note:

We do not sell individual solar panels on their own. All components that we sell are part of a specifically designed off-grid system for your home or business.
