For residential use in India, two types of solar panels are popular: the 24V solar panel and the 12V solar panel. However, what is the difference between these two, and how do you decide which one is a perfect fit for your home?
The 12V solar panel voltage is generated by smaller photovoltaic cells in the panel. These panels are either in square or rectangular and come in varying sizes from pocket size to residential rooftop installations. These can easily be used for residential uses like powering refrigerators, laptops, or phones. Additionally, the smaller versions can also act as portable power chargers when you're traveling.
The 24V solar panel voltage is generated by the same method as the 12V solar panel. However, the key difference is this panel has almost double the number of cells. These can easily be used to power the whole home, as long as you have a compatible system with a 24V system.
Additionally, you can also use a transformer to change the voltage. These solar panels are commonly used in apartment complexes, hospitals, and hotels.
The advantage of both these is that they can be used for residential power generation. Both products are available in various sizes and are available in portable sizes. However, if you are looking for battery charging solutions, the 12V solar panel for a 150Ah battery is the perfect fit.
Before buying either of the solar panels, we recommend looking at the appliances in your home and their compatibility. Otherwise, you will have to invest in a linear voltage regulator to break down the system.
