Amorphous Solar Panels
The Amorphous technique of panel manufacture is most often seen in small solar panels like those in calculators or garden lamps. They are however being increasingly used for larger applications.
They are made by depositing a thin film of silicon onto a sheet of another material such as steel. The panel is formed in one piece and cells are not visible like other panels. Amorphous solar panels aren't as efficient as the other types of panel made from individual solar cells, although this has improved in recent years and they can be a practical alternative to panels made with silicon cells.
