Types of Solar Panels We Install
Understanding the different types of solar panels on the market can help you make an informed decision about which will best suit your needs. At Headland Electrical Solutions Ltd, we install the three main types of solar panels in all locations surrounding Exeter:
Monocrystalline Panels
These panels are made from single-crystal silicon, allowing electrons to flow more freely and providing higher efficiency. Monocrystalline panels are known for their superior performance, particularly in low-light conditions, as well as their longevity, which makes them a popular choice for both homeowners and businesses.
Polycrystalline Panels
Manufactured using multiple silicon fragments melted together, polycrystalline panels are cost-effective yet offer a slightly lower efficiency than monocrystalline options. They provide a reliable solution for those looking for an affordable renewable energy source.
Amorphous Thin-Film Panels
These panels are created by depositing a thin layer of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, making them flexible and lightweight. While they have a lower efficiency rate compared to crystalline panels, they are ideal for unique applications where space and aesthetics are a consideration, such as curved surfaces or portable solar installations.

Solar Panel Repairs
Even high-quality solar panels can experience faults over time. Our expert team provides comprehensive repair services to ensure solar systems in Exeter and nearby locales continue to operate at peak efficiency. Common solar panel repairs our electricians undertake include:
Faulty Inverters
The inverter is responsible for converting DC electricity to AC for use in your home or business. A failing inverter can lead to reduced power output and needs timely replacement.
Broken or Cracked Panels
Extreme weather conditions, accidental damage or manufacturing defects can cause cracks or fractures, reducing the panel’s efficiency.
Wiring & Connection Issues
Loose or corroded wiring can disrupt flow of electricity, leading to intermittent or complete system failure.
Dirt & Debris Build-up
Accumulated dirt, bird droppings or shading from nearby objects can significantly reduce the effectiveness of your panels.
Micro-cracks & Hot Spots
Small, often invisible cracks in the solar cells can lead to performance loss over time. Hot spots, caused by shading or poor connections, can lead to overheating and damage.
Our experienced electricians can diagnose and resolve these issues efficiently, ensuring your solar panels continue to generate optimal energy output.
