Efficiency of solar modules
The efficiency rate of solar modules is a measurement for how efficiently a module can convert sunlight into electric energy. It is expressed as a percentage and specifies which ratio of the incident sun’s rays are actually converted into electricity.
A high efficiency rate is of crucial significance in order to increase the profitability of solar energy systems. This is particularly important in areas with less sunshine as efficient modules can produce more electricity, even if the weather conditions are less ideal.
The efficiency rate of solar modules is influenced by several factors:
1. Materials: The choice of materials, which a solar module consists of, plays a decisive role. High-quality materials such as monocrystalline silicon usually have a higher efficiency rate. In shade-free environments, polycrystalline solar panels are often a popular choice because they are more cost-efficient.
2. Construction: The construction of the module and the arrangement of the solar cells also influence the efficiency rate. An optimum design ensures that the incoming sunlight is used efficiently.
3. Ambient factors: Ambient conditions such as pollution, shade and temperature can impact the efficiency rate. Good planning and cleaning of the system are necessary to maintain its performance.
Choosing high-quality modules, the right care and by placing them at the right angle, you can ensure that your solar system gets the best out of the solar energy while reducing its environmental impact. Buy the right solar modules directly from us.
Powerful solar cells
Solar cells are small electronic devices arranged inside of solar panels or solar modules. They consist of semiconductor materials, usually silicon, that can convert light into electricity. Solar modules create a voltage of between 18V and 65V as well as a current of 5 to 15 amps. As soon as sunlight shines onto the modules, the product of voltage and current is created, the wattage. For solar modules, this is called the watt-peak, with peak used because of the light dependency.
The performance of solar cells is measured in watt-peak (Wp) and can vary depending on type and quality of the cells. Standard solar cells usually have a performance of 5–8 watts per cell, solar modules tend to output 170–220 watts per square metre. We can offer you high-quality panels. Buy future-proof solar modules from us that ensure reliable performance even after decades of use.
The correct set-up of solar panels
Setting up solar panels correctly is the key to maximum energy gain. Here are some important steps:
1. Choice of location: Place the panels in a sunny site without shade.
2. Angle of inclination: Adjust the inclination of the photovoltaic modules to your geographical position.
3. Electric wiring: Ensure your electric wiring is safe and that you have the right inverter. Ideally, operate the solar panels in a series circuit so that the voltage of the interconnected modules can be added. Here, you also need to pay attention to choosing the right charge controller or inverter. At Faber, customers will find the right cables and accessories for solar modules.
4. Maintenance and cleaning: Regularly maintain and clean your solar panels to ensure their optimum performance.
