Polycrystalline Solar Cells

Polycrystalline solar cells, also known as multicrystalline cells, are a type of photovoltaic technology used to convert sunlight into electricity. They are made from multiple silicon fragments melted together, forming a mosaic-like structure. This manufacturing process is more straightforward and cost-effective than monocrystalline cells, resulting in a slightly lower efficiency but still providing reliable energy. Polycrystalline panels are visible by their characteristic speckled blue appearance and are commonly used in residential and commercial solar systems, offering a good balance between performance and affordability.
