You can buy thin-film solar panels in the UK, but as they’re not as common as standard solar panels, you should expect the process of finding an installer to take longer. Here are a few companies that provide thin-film solar panels. Midsummer Energy sells a range of thin-film solar panels, from 70 watts up to 500 watts.
There are three types of thin-film solar panels, all made from different materials. Flexible solar panels are a specific type of thin-film solar panels made from silicon. Thin-film solar cells are the least expensive option compared to the two mentioned above. This type of solar panels is the easiest to produce.
What makes them different is not only how thin they are, it’s how their size allows them to be far more flexible than ordinary solar panels. For example, thin-film solar panels are perfect for use in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs).
However, the materials and thickness differ drastically. The average efficiency of thin film panels ranges between 7–13%, depending on the type and quality of material used. This is lower than monocrystalline panels, which reach up to 24%, but that doesn’t tell the full story. Here’s where thin solar panels shine:
