The efficiency of monocrystalline solar panels, 18-24%, is the highest among all silicon-based solar panels. Today, premium technologies like PERC and IBC are the icing on the PV cake. This is our standard, in all DC Solar Systems modules. A no-brainer.
A solar panel made up of silicon semiconductors is called a silicon solar panel. A number of PV cells aggregated in a confined panel act as a collector of solar energy. Silicon semiconductors are popular because they exhibit properties such as low weight volume ratio, extended life cycle, robustness and strength.
Conversion of solar energy into electric energy is accomplished by the principle of photovoltaic (PV) effect. This is the process of converting the sun’s energy into electric energy through PV cells made up of semiconductors such as silicon.
When sunlight falls on a PV cell, its constituents (photons) absorb the light energy and transfer it to the electrons in the semiconductor material. It then flows as electric current, becoming the source of electric power. One of the most popular semiconductor materials used in PV cells is silicon, which has properties conducive to produce electric power from solar energy.
Monocrystalline solar panels are made from PV cells sliced out of a silicon ingot, grown from a pure single-crystal of silicon. When the cylindrical ingot is sliced, its circular shape is squared, giving the cell a unique octagonal shape. This shape distinguishes the cells from cells made of polycrystalline silicon.
Further, monocrystalline solar cells have a uniform black colour. The PV cells in the panel offer better collection surface because of the pyramid pattern of the crystal. With proper treatment and addition of other materials, these cells are durable for 30 years or more and offer higher efficiency than the other two types of silicon solar panels (polycristalline and amorphous thin film panels).
These cells are also efficient in terms of space occupied for the same power output of all silicon-based cells.
Silicon is a metalloid, meaning it has properties of both metals and non-metals. Like other metalloids, silicon has different shapes or allotropes. Amorphous silicon is usually thought of as a gray powder, while crystalline silicon is a gray solid with a shiny, metallic appearance. Silicon conducts electricity better than nonmetals, but not as well as metals. In other words, it is a semiconductor.

About Us
We are strongly committed to bring the production of solar modules and the associated chain of materials back to Europe. To realize this, we have established strong partnerships. We cooperate with leading European research institutes, such as ISC-Konstanz and TNO, and with technological partners like DSM-Endurans and SPP.
Direct result: the presentation of a solar module based on a mix of European technology, materials and production. This is no longer a dream.
