FAQS 4

What are solar panels made of?

Solar panels are usually made from a few key components: silicon, metal, and glass. Standard panels are either made from monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon. Start comparing solar quotes on the EnergySage Marketplace to see your equipment options.

Why are solar panels made of silicon?

Silicon is the foundation of most solar panels due to its abundance and excellent semiconductor properties. It’s the material responsible for converting sunlight into electricity, making it critical to solar energy systems.

What are the parts of a solar panel?

Most panels include solar cells, tempered glass, encapsulant, a backsheet, a metal frame, an inverter, and a junction box. In the sections ahead, we’ll walk through each part so you can better understand how solar panels work and why they’re built to last for decades.

What materials are used in solar panels?

Amorphous silicon, primarily used in thin-film panels, provides flexibility and is lightweight. Conductive metals like silver, copper, and aluminum form essential electrical components in solar panels. Silver is typically used in bus bars and contact lines to conduct electricity effectively.
