Difference between 72-cell and 78-cell solar modules

What is a 72-cell solar panel?

72-cell solar panels are popular for commercial and ground-mounted installations and tend to cost less per watt and reduce installation time by requiring fewer modules than 60-cell modules. They appear similar to 60-cell solar panels but feature an extra 2 rows of solar cells added to the length of the module.

Are 72-cell solar panels bigger than 60-cell panels?

72-cell solar panels have more photovoltaic cells, therefore, they are larger than 60-cell panels. When it comes to dimensions, 60-cell panels are usually built six cells wide and ten cells tall. 72-cell panels are also six cells wide but have an additional two rows of cells that make them a bit taller.

How many cells are in a solar panel?

A single solar cell isn't going to produce much electricity; that's why they're grouped together in solar panel modules. The number of cells in a solar panel can vary from 36 cells to 144 cells. The two most common solar panel options on the market today are 60-cell and 72-cell. What’s the difference between 60-cell and 72-cell panels?

What is a 72 cell PV module?

72 cell PV modules are used primarily for large commercial, ground mounted, and carport solar panel systems. For wholesale price and availability, call (877) 297-0014. REC360TP2SM72, REC365TP2SM72
