FAQ: The most popular questions about solar panels

Below we have tried to briefly list the most popular questions about solar panels asked to Reneco specialists.

What is a solar panel?

A solar panel (also known as a photovoltaic module, solar battery, FEM) is a device that converts solar energy into electrical energy.

What is the difference between polycrystalline solar panels and monocrystalline ones?

Many people are interested in which photovoltaic panels are better: mono or poly. Polycrystalline solar panels are made from polycrystalline silicon. Such solar panels have gained the greatest popularity, since the difference in efficiency with monocrystalline solar cells is compensated by a lower price. The efficiency of solar panels made from monocrystalline photocells is higher, as is their cost. The production of such elements is more difficult than polycrystalline ones.

What to look for when buying solar panels?

We tried to answer this question in more detail here.

What care is required for a solar panel?

Solar panels do not require any special care. Manufacturers of TIER1 equip the modules with hydrophobic glass, which is protected from water and moisture adhesion. In addition, when the battery is installed correctly at the right angle, naturally accumulated dust and dirt are washed away by rain and removed by the wind.

Lifespan of solar panels?

The service life of solar panels is at least 25 years. Most manufacturers provide a product warranty of 10-12 years with retention of at least 80% power for 25 years. It is worth noting that the end of the warranty period does not mean that the panel will need to be replaced. This means that the battery efficiency will not decrease significantly every year.

How much area is needed to place solar panels?

The size of the solar panel placement area directly depends on the power of the solar station. For example, for 1 kW of station power, an average of 7 m2 of pitched roof area will be required. Typically, 400 m2 of plot area is sufficient for ground-mounted solar power plants with a capacity of 30 kW. You can get an accurate and individual calculation from Reneco. Our design department will select the optimal option for placing the FEM, taking into account all the features of the project.
