DMEGC Solar Panels

There are 2 types of photovoltaic cell used in solar panels – monocrystalline and polycrystalline.  
 
Polycrytstalline cells are made of multiple crystals of silicon all mashed together while monocrystalline cells are made with a single crystal – this improves the overall efficiency of the panel.  
 
In the 440W DMEGC each cell is then split in two, this enables electricity to flow over the surface of the cell more easily which reduces resistance and increases efficiency.  
 

No, no they do not. No solar panels need bright sunshine to work, daylight is the secret to good, clean renewable energy. Light travels via partials called ‘photons’. These zip through the air and bounce off everything around them, ending up in our eyes, which is how we can see stuff.  
 
Well, when they hit the silicon crystals in your solar panel, they cause a reaction that generates electricity. The stronger the light, the more electricity is generated.  
 
So while direct sunlight will produce good results, string, filtered light will do the same.  

The 440W DMGC panels are 22.02% efficient – but what does that mean?  

The efficiency rating in a material used to generate electricity is how much of the original source – that’s oil, gas, coal, sunshine, wind etc.  
 
To get an idea how solar compares to other methods of generation we have 34% for coal, 40% for natural gas and 37% for oil. While wind turbines come in at around 20% to 40%.  

This doesn’t mean you get 22.02% of 440W though, the rating of a solar panel is what they will produce in direct sunlight with no shading. 

A panel’s efficiency will degrade at 0.5% every year though.

The cells in photovoltaic panels are made from crystals of silicon. These crystals react to photons hitting them and generate electricity – at an efficiency of 22.02%.  
 
Over the years the silicon degrades, and the efficiency of the energy conversion drops by around 0.5% every 12 months.  This means the panels take between 25 and 30 years to drop below an acceptable efficiency level – but they will continue to generate electricity for years after that.  
 

Bifacial panels used reflected light, as well as direct light, as they utilise ‘reflective’ surfaces within the panel. While the technology is a little more complicated than that, the basic idea is that the cells are flooded with more light that normal ‘unifacial’ panels. This increases the efficiency of the panel.  

We install DMEGC solar panels in homes all over the UK. We’re based in Castleford, in Yorkshire, but we can get to anywhere in England, and even Scotland. Here’s just a few of the locations.

In the North:

• Solar panels in Cheshire
• Solar panels in Wakefield
• Solar panels in Huddersfield
• Solar panels in Manchester
• Solar panels in Hull
• Solar panels in York

In the Midlands:

• Solar panels in Coventry
• Solar panels in Birmingham
• Solar panels in Derby
• Solar panels in Nottingham 
• Solar panels in Leicester

In the South:

• Solar panels in Brighton
• Solar panels in Bristol
• Solar panels in Cornwall
• Solar panels in Hampshire
• Solar panels in London
• Solar panels in Plymouth
• Solar panels in Southampton

In the East:

• Solar panels in Cambridge
• Solar panels in Norfolk
• Solar panels in Norwich

In Scotland:

• Solar panels in Glasgow
• Solar panels in Edinburgh

You might find DMEGC solar panels available to order online for roughly £60 per panel. But you’d then have to install them yourself, which can get messy and be quite dangerous if you’re not a qualified installer, very quickly.

We can’t give you an exact price because we quote every single household on a case by case basis. The cost of solar panels depends on:

• how many panels you need
• the type of panel such as polycrystalline or monocrystalline
• the location you’re based
• whether you’re having any add-ons like an EV charger or any battery storage
