These are amorphous Silicon and are made
in Asia under the control of one of the largest US manufacturers.All
panels have an aluminium picture frame type surround and the cells
themselves are protected from the environment by a clear glass window.
Whilst solar panels have generally come down in price over the last few
years. It is important to be aware of quality. There are panels
available from other suppliers that may appear cheap, but their poor
protection of the Silicon solar cells will ensure early failure, which
makes them very expensive indeed.
Manufacturers are purchasing these
panels from our supplier. The range was primarily selected for quality - with
value for money in mind. You must also be aware that many of the
competitors cells surveyed simply did not give the output current
claimed. Our panels will deliver within claimed specs on a bright sunny
day at 35°S latitude, i.e. Sydney.
We have some new lower prices due to
general price reductions of amorphous solar panels.
Note: The output
from amorphous solar panels gradually decreases over years, unlike
polycrystalline which do not.
