Cheap solar panels do not have to mean that quality is sacrificed. Homeowners everywhere and buying solar panels that they can DIY (Do-it-yourself). Polycrystalline and monocrystalline solar panels from Blue Pacific Solar are priced to make our modules affordable for all residential roofs. We offer Kyocera, Astronergy, Sharp and YingLi products all of which have manufacturing locations in America.

To better understand the cost of the different types of solar panels and what makes one cheap and one more expensive we need to look at the two most common module materials. Monocrystalline silicon solar panels are made from a ingot of highly pure poly silicon melted and mixed with boron. The monocrystalline silicon seed is dipped into a molten bath over many hours until it grows into a large cylindrical crystal. Monocrystalline solar used most commonly on homes and businesses have an efficiency of 14% to 17%.

Residential polycrystalline silicon solar panels are made from a cast of many silicon crystals because it makes for cheap solar panels that stand have different performance characteristics than monocrystalline solar panels. You can usually tell the difference between the most efficient solar panels which are monocrystalline and the cost of polycrystalline solar panel not just because of cost, but polycrystalline solar panels generally have a blue hue Vs the black color monocrystalline solar panel.

At Blue Pacific Solar a question our consultants are asked often is what is the most efficient solar panels? Efficient solar panels are calculated on the ratio of power output to power input. What that means in laymen's terms is solar irradiance (the suns energy) is multiplied by the area of the solar device to determine the watts of solar power. (Electrical Power) The more of the suns energy (solar power per sq. meter) that is converted to electricity as a relationship to the size of the solar module, hence, the higher the efficient solar panel. The real answer to the question depends on the usage. As an example, thin film solar is not as efficient as monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar panels, but does better in extremely hot environments.

Cheap quality affordable solar panels are formed from many solar cells wired together to form a solar panel or module. Solar panels are constructed from solar cells that are sandwiched between several layers of protective materials, supported by an aluminum frame with some type of glass cover. Where you start to really see the difference between cheaply constructed and cheap quality solar panels is in the assembly, materials used in the panel parts and how many blocking diodes a panel may have. Higher quality solar panels have more blocking diodes (which improve performance is slight shading issues exist) and use higher quality low iron glass and durable frame materials.

Bypass or blocking diodes is used to pass current around rather than through a group of solar cells. The electrical current is allowed to pass around a cell or group of cells that have been shaded or develop an open-circuit condition. This process many times distinguish the difference between cheap solar panels and one where higher quality standards are adhered to. Kyocera, YingLi, Schüco and Sharp solar panel manufactures set a high bar for all other residential solar panel companies. You can buy cheap solar panels, but be careful you are getting a quality product not a defective or flawed rejected panel which sometimes are sold as type A panels without blemishes.

Blue Pacific Solar only sells solar panels that have been extensively tested not only by the factory under uniform test conditions, but also they must be independently tested and listed with the California Energy Commission and UL listed with a minimum 20 year guarantee from a manufacture that has been in business more than 5 years. Cheap solar panels do not mean you have to sacrifice quality. We sell solar panels for your home that you can buy that cost less because we buy in quality from well established solar panel manufactures.
