FAQS 4

What are the different types of solar panels?

When you first start checking out solar energy systems, you’ll notice that solar panels are available in two different types. These include n-type panels and p-type panels. Knowing the difference between the two will help you to best determine which one fits your specific needs and budget.

What are the different types of solar cells?

There are two main types of solar cells used in photovoltaic solar panels – N-type and P-type. N-type solar cells are made from N-type silicon, while P-type solar cells use P-type silicon. While both generate electricity when exposed to sunlight, N-type and P-type solar cells have some key differences in how they are designed and perform.

What is a p type solar panel?

P-Type Solar Panels: Unlike N type solar panels, P-type solar cells utilize silicon doped with elements having fewer valence electrons, typically boron (B). The doping creates positively charged holes (absence of electrons), which become the majority charge carriers.

Why are p-type solar panels more popular than n type solar panels?

P-type solar panels are more popular on the market today than n type of solar panels. This is thought to be due to the fact that p-type solar cells stand up better to radiation, have been more widely used in space applications, and have gone under more research than n type panels.
