How to selet and install solar panels for your household solar system? 

Solar panels are the core components of solar energy systems, converting solar energy into electricity to provide us with clean and renewable energy. When purchasing and installing solar panels, it is necessary to understand the following aspects.

1.Types of solar panels

Solar panels are mainly divided into three types: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and amorphous silicon. Monocrystalline solar panels have the highest conversion efficiency, but are relatively expensive; polycrystalline solar panels have a lower cost, but lower conversion efficiency compared to monocrystalline; amorphous silicon solar panels have the lowest cost, but the lowest conversion efficiency. The choice of which type of solar panel to use should be based on a comprehensive consideration of the actual situation.

2.Conversion efficiency of solar panels

The conversion efficiency of solar panels refers to their ability to convert solar energy into electricity, usually expressed as a percentage. The higher the conversion efficiency, the more electricity can be generated per unit area. Therefore, when selecting solar panels, choose products with high conversion efficiency.

3.Installation location and angle of solar panels.

The installation location and angle of solar panels directly affect their power generation efficiency. Generally, solar panels should be installed in a position where they can receive sufficient sunlight and avoid being shaded. At the same time, the installation angle should be determined based on the local latitude and seasonal changes to maximize sunlight reception.

4.Maintenance of solar panels

Solar panels need to be regularly cleaned and maintained during use to ensure their power generation efficiency. When cleaning, first use a soft brush to remove dust and debris from the surface, and then rinse with clean water. During maintenance, regularly check whether the connection wires of the solar panel are loose or corroded and replace them in time.

When purchasing solar panels, choose reputable brands and manufacturers to ensure their quality and after-sales service. At the same time, make a reasonable selection based on actual needs and budget to achieve the best power generation efficiency and economic benefits.
