Abstract
There are basically three most commonly used types of solar panel options currently available. They are
monocrystalline, polycrystalline (also known as multi-crystalline), and thin-film. These solar panels differ in
how they’re constructed, their appearance, their performance, their costs, and the installations. Each of these are
best suited for one or the other applications and the solar panel type best suited for our installation will depend on
the factors specific to our own property and desired system characteristics. We are here comparing all these types
of solar panels analytically as well as economically, thus finding out the most efficient and cost effective panel
for our further research
