The types of photovoltaic panels may be divided into:
1. Crystalline silicon battery: monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon.
2. Thin film batteries: amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS).
3. New batteries: perovskite, organic solar cells and quantum dot batteries.
4. High efficiency/special structure: HJT, IBC, multi-junction battery.
5. Special applications: double-sided module, flexible module, transparent module and concentrated photovoltaic (CPV).
