Traditional solar panels: mono, poly, amorphous | Wattuneed

Traditional solar panels

Traditional solar panels are rigid panels generally used for roof installation. Depending on your priorities, you can choose between: amorphous (lower surface yield but better production in cloudy weather), polycrystalline (excellent power/price ratio) or monocrystalline (the highest yield, with attractive black cells). To quickly estimate the number of panels and production based on your orientation and inclination, use our Solar Simulator.

Choose in 30 seconds

  • Priority: efficiency/aesthetics: go for monocrystalline (black cells).
  • Priority on budget: polycrystalline offers a very good power/price ratio.
  • Priority: weather conditions (overcast skies):amorphous panels perform better in grey weather (but less per square metre).
  • Typical use: roof installation (rigid panels).
