Crystalline silicon vs. thin film at high latitudes

A four-year analysis conducted at a testing field in eastern Poland has shown that crystalline solar panels offer a stronger performance than thin-film panels at high latitudes. The tests revealed pronounced seasonal variability across all technologies, with thin-film modules showing markedly lower capacity factors than crystalline silicon, particularly in winter.Researchers at the Lublin University of Technology in Poland and University of Jaén in Spain have compared the performance of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar panels with that of thin-film modules based on cadmium telluride (CdTe), amorphous ...
