Solar modules

Solar modules are the heart of your photovoltaic installation, because this is where the conversion of sunlight to electricity happens. In the last few years solar panel costs and solar panel prices have decreased sharply. But taking a closer look can pay off: What are the established solar cell and solar panel types? What about solar modules efficiency? What should you pay attention to in order not to run into nasty surprises later-on?
