300W solar panels are used in most of the homes, then why 300W solar panels are so popular, below we will introduce 300W solar panels like you from what can 300W solar panels run, types and so on.
With the development of solar technology, the wattage of solar panels can reach up to 700W.But it doesn’t mean that 300W solar panels are obsolete. 300W can still produce a lot of electricity. A 300W solar panel can run lights, laptops, small appliances. By assembling several 300W solar panels into a solar array, the 300W solar panels can run more appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and other large appliances.
Rigid 300W solar panel: mainly solar cell sheet with TPT backsheet makes the 300W solar panel rigid.300W rigid solar panel is the choice of most families. It can be applied to home electricity, solar street light, roof leveling RV, PV farm and so on.
300W flexible solar panel: 300W flexible solar panel is made of resin-sealed solar cells mounted on a flexible backsheet. It is bendable and foldable, easy to carry, and used in solar heating, curved caravan, PV building integration, etc.
Size: Usually, the length of 300W solar panel is between 1.7 meters and 2 meters, and the width is about 1 meter, the exact size may be related to different brands, types of solar panels.
Weight: 300W rigid solar panel will be heavier than 300W flexible solar panel. Generally, a 300W rigid solar panel weighs 20kg to 25kg, while a 300W flexible solar panel weighs 5kg to 15kg. You can choose the right 300W solar panel according to the size of the site you want to install and the weight capacity of the site.
The price of 300W solar panels ranges from 25 USD to 35 USD. The price of polycrystalline rigid solar panels is the lowest. It is mainly because the brand and performance of 300W solar panels will be different.
The photovoltaic conversion rate of 300W polycrystalline solar panels can reach 15% to 18%. However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of monocrystalline silicon solar panels is higher than polycrystalline silicon solar panels, and the photoelectric conversion rate of monocrystalline silicon solar panels is around 20%. For first-class brands, such as JinkoSolar, LONGi, JAsolar, Trina solar etc., 300W solar panels will have a better photoelectric conversion rate.
Suitable applications: 300W solar panels are not too big in size and can be used in many places. The more common ones are home, solar streetlight, caravan. If it is for home use, you try to make the solar panel power generation consistent with your home’s electricity consumption to avoid wasting power.
Regular maintenance and cleaning: 300W solar panel is the same as other solar panels, regular maintenance and cleaning is necessary, so that the solar panel has a longer service life, bring you more economic benefits.
Avoid shading: 300W solar panels in the process of use, its relatively small size, can be reduced by shading, but shading will still be there, you can promptly remove the shading or change the orientation of the solar panels, to reduce the heating of the solar panels to extend the service life of the solar panels.
300W solar panels are more suitable for home use, according to different needs, 300W also has different types for you to choose. During the use, you should keep in mind some precautions about 300W to increase the service life of the solar panel.
