What are polycrystalline solar panels?

Polycrystalline solar panels are the middle-of-the-road option in terms of price and efficiency, and they get their signature blue shimmer from imperfections in the silicon fragments used in the creation of their energy-generating solar cells.

What are invisible solar panels?

Invisible solar panels are made possible through advanced solar tech. They successfully generate energy without the obvious “solar panel” look. Glass-like in appearance, they can be integrated into windows or used as roofing material. Their transparency allows natural light to still pass through, adding another layer of functionality.
