Solar panels with different levels of transparency

The German manufacturer Sonnenstromfabrik has developed a monocrystalline glass-glass PV panel in three versions offering different levels of transparency. Their output power varies

from 160 W to 280 W, while their efficiency ranges from 9.5% (32-cell panel) to 16.7% (54-cell panel). They include a transparent part: the 32-cell panel has 51% transparency, the 48-cell product has 27% transparency, the 54-cell version has only 19% of the total panel surface area transparent.

The transparency makes the panels suitable for verandas, pergolas, awnings, carports, swimming pools, halls and facades, petrol stations.
