Polycrystalline / Multicrystalline Solar Panels

Polycrystalline solar panels cost marginally less than monocrystalline due to the way they are made. We sell a range of polycrystalline or multicrystalline solar panels from 12V 40W up to 24V 280W. iSustain Australia also provides free shipping to most regional centres.

Polycrystalline and Multicrystalline solar panels are made from a block of silicon that has multiple crystals. These panels are square in shape, and may have a surface that looks somewhat like a mosaic. That’s because of all the different crystals that make up the module. Because there are numerous grain boundaries inherent in the design, the product is cheaper but the efficiency of the polycrystalline device is not as great as monocrystalline devices. However, they are much simpler to produce, and cost far less to manufacture. This makes them much less expensive for buyers. The durability and longevity of the polycrystalline and multicrystalline panels are comparable to monocrystalline modules.
