Modern solar panels are characterized by higher efficiency, which is a significant and beneficial feature. The new panels allow you to obtain greater energy production from the same limited available space. On the other hand, the number of modern panels needed to produce your required energy is approximately a quarter less than the number of old-style solar panels needed to produce the same amount of energy.
It is worth noting that the efficiency of modern panels can reach 23%, while older panels can drop to around 18% efficiency.
Of course, the price of the new high-efficiency solar panels is higher than the price of the older panels. However, the total cost of a solar energy project is determined by the interplay of many factors, including labor costs, the number of components and connections required, and the control devices that regulate the energy production and distribution. These control devices prioritize energy from the solar panels, then from storage batteries, and finally from a generator or the public electricity grid.
Therefore, the overall cost when using the new panels may exceed the cost of a system using older panels. But we must consider that the new panels have a longer service life compared to their predecessors.
The choice between which solar panels to install depends on two factors: the available project space, and the maximum budget you can accommodate.
