While the hardware has been available for approximately 40 years, only recently have key components of photovoltaic solar power systems achieved a level of development resulting in inverters that safely connect to the utility grid and solar modules that reliably and cost effectively produce power at a price comparable to that of your electric distribution [...]
Two dominant types of modules used in approximately 85% of installations are crystalline silicon based. The photovoltaic solar cells used in the construction of these modules are comprised of monocrystalline cells, using a more efficient more expensive manufacturing process or polycrystalline cells also known as multicrystalline, a less efficient less expensive process. Companies have substantially [...]
