Converting solar energy into electricity through PV installations is one of the most widely recognized and efficient uses of solar power. Solar PV modules, composed of multiple PV cells, are designed to enhance power output while maintaining high reliability, durability, and low noise operation. With a lifespan exceeding 30 years, PV cells offer long-term energy solutions. Most solar cells are made from silicon, a non-toxic and abundantly available element in the Earth's crust. On average, a photovoltaic cell operates at about 15% efficiency, meaning it can convert approximately one-sixth of the received solar energy into usable electricity.
Gujarat Energy is a leading solar panel manufacturer and exporter based in Ahmedabad, India. Solar panels, composed of multiple solar cells, efficiently convert sunlight into electricity, utilizing the Sun as a free and renewable energy source. At Gujarat Energy, we provide a diverse range of solar solutions for both residential and commercial buildings. Our high-quality solar products are ideal for various applications, including Residential Solar Projectss, commercial establishments, and utility-scale solar installations.
Solar panels have become a popular choice for sustainable energy solutions, offering a reliable way to reduce electricity costs. While investment opportunities in renewable energy are abundant, the financial benefits of solar power are clear—lowering electricity bills by generating clean, renewable energy for your home.
As electricity costs continue to rise, more people are turning to solar energy to meet their power needs. The cost of a rooftop solar PV system depends on its capacity, available incentives, and subsidies. It’s important to note that all solar PV systems function by synchronizing voltage with other power sources, making integration with the grid, battery backup, or a diesel generator essential for seamless operation.
We offer three types of solar panels: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film. Each type has its own unique advantages, and the best choice for your installation depends on factors such as your property’s specifications and the desired system performance.
Monocrystalline Solar Panel
Monocrystalline solar panels, made from the purest silicon, are easily recognizable by their uniform dark appearance and rounded edges. These panels offer high power output, require less space, and have the longest lifespan. Additionally, they are more resistant to performance loss due to high temperatures compared to polycrystalline panels, making them a reliable and efficient choice for solar energy systems.
Polycrystalline Solar Panel
Polycrystalline solar panels are easily recognizable by their square shape, uncut edges, and distinctive blue, speckled appearance. These panels are manufactured by melting raw silicon, making the production process faster and more cost-effective. While the differences between monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels are minimal, the choice depends on individual needs. Monocrystalline panels offer slightly higher space efficiency at a higher cost, but both types provide similar power output.
Thin-film panels
Thin-film solar panels are composed of thin-film solar cell materials, making them lightweight and flexible. These panels generate electricity by converting light energy into electrical energy and are available in various technologies. One of the key advantages of thin-film solar panels is their flexibility, allowing installation on both curved and flat surfaces, as well as integration into building structures for seamless photovoltaic solutions.
The cost of photovoltaic systems has dropped by approximately 40% due to declining manufacturing costs and growing market competition. Buyers can choose between locally manufactured solar modules or internationally imported ones from global companies. In a significant initiative, the Government of India has outlined an ambitious plan under the National Solar Mission to scale up grid-connected solar power from 20,000 MW to 100,000 MW (1 lakh MW) by 2022, with a strong focus on rooftop solar power projects.
To maximize the returns from a solar PV installation, it is essential to utilize as much of the electricity generated at home as possible. Simply put, using the electricity produced on-site eliminates the need to purchase power from an energy provider, resulting in savings of approximately 12.5p/kWh. While exporting excess electricity to the grid provides some compensation, the real benefit lies in government incentives. Homeowners can receive payments for every unit of energy generated and additional compensation for any surplus electricity supplied to the National Grid.
