Before installing Solar Panels in Kenya, here is a list of 4 types of solar panels in order of efficiency:

  1. Monocrystalline Solar Panels: These are made from single crystal silicon and are known for their high efficiency (15–22%) and compact design.

2. Polycrystalline Solar Panels: These are made from multiple crystal silicon and have slightly lower efficiency (13–16%) than monocrystalline panels, but are also less expensive.

3. Thin-Film Solar Panels: These are made from a thin film of photovoltaic material and have lower efficiency (7–11%) compared to crystalline silicon panels but can be more flexible and suitable for certain applications.

4. Flexible Solar Panels: These are thin-film solar panels that are flexible, lightweight and portable, making them ideal for use in off-grid or mobile applications.
