The Similarities Between 200W And 200W PRO Solar Panels

Consisting of monocrystalline silicon cells, our solar panels are renowned for being remarkably effective and durable. Derived from a single, pure crystal of silicon, these photovoltaic cells allow us to convert more sunlight into electrical power than any other form of cell.

Boasting a hefty output of 200W apiece, these two solar panels are perfect for all sorts of uses - from supplying energy to portable gizmos and gadgets, to charging bigger batteries.

Furthermore, both solar panels are foldable and compactly designed for lightweight portability. And, they boast an MC-connector to enable effortless connection and disconnection of electrical connections in no time!

Ultimately, both of these solar panels are widely compatible and will work with a variety of solar generators and other gadgets. The 200W model is perfect for many existing generators in the market, while the premium 200W PRO version works best when combined with Grecell's own reliable energy sources.

With their similar features and excellent performance, the 200W and 200W PRO solar panels make for outstanding renewable energy sources that you can trust.

The Differences Between 200W And 200W PRO Solar Panels

One of the most obvious disparities between these two solar panels is their construction materials. The 200W solar panel utilizes PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film for its outer layer, whereas the more advanced 200W PRO model uses ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) film.

ETFE VS PET Material Chart: 

Comparison	ETFE	PET
Chemical Resistance	Excellent resistance to most chemicals	Resistant to some chemicals
Temperature Resistance	Can withstand temperatures up to 150°C (302°F)	Can withstand temperatures up to 70°C (158°F)
Transparency	High transparency, allows up to 95% of light to pass through	Good transparency, allows up to 90% to 93% of light to pass through
Durability	Highly durable, resistant to abrasion, punctures, and tears	Durable, but not as resistant to abrasion and punctures as ETFE
Tensile Strength	High tensile strength, can withstand heavy loads	Lower tensile strength compared to ETFE
UV Resistance	Excellent UV resistance, does not degrade or become brittle	Good UV resistance, but may degrade or become brittle over time
Cost	More expensive than PET	Less expensive
Life span	Long-lasting and durable, minimal 10 years	Durable, minimal 5 years
Thickness	Thin and lightweight, less than 0.1mm	0.15mm
Fire Rating	Self-extinguishing with no burning drops, and meets building safety standards	Generally meets building safety standards, but not suitable for use in high-temperature regions
Applicative Effects	ETFE is more suitable for use in harsh environments, such as in roofing, facades, and inflatable structures. It also has better resistance to weathering and chemical exposure.--absorbs sunlight, Does not reflect it	PET is often used in applications such as packaging, labels, and textiles. It is also suitable for electrical insulation and other non-demanding applications.--Reflect a large amount of sunlight

 

ETFE, a highly resilient fluoropolymer, is well-known for its thermal stress endurance and chemical damage resistance. This makes the 200W PRO solar panel more resistant to extreme temperatures and caustic compounds than the standard 200W solar panel.

The ETFE film that's found in the 200W PRO solar panel has more longevity and light transmission than its PET counterpart. This means it can take in more sunlight, thus generating higher energy over time. What’s even better is that compared to PET, the ETFEfilm is thinner yet stronger – meaning it boasts increased flexibility and durability too!

Notably, the water-resistant capabilities of the two solar panels vary. The 200W PRO features a higher IP65 rating for splash protection from any direction. Comparatively, the 200W is rated lower and may not be as reliable in wet or rainy climates.

In comparison to the PET film utilized in its 200W counterpart, the use of ETFE in the 200W PRO solar panel provides a number of advantages. It's more resilient against extreme temperatures and corrosive substances; has greater light transmission plus an extended lifespan; and is thinner as well as lighter - making it a much stronger and high-performance choice for those searching for dependable renewable energy sources.
