That s pretty much all there is to it.
Difference between 60 and 72 cell solar panels.
Note that not all microinverters will support 72 cell solar panels so 60 cell is still the only option in some cases mostly for home systems.
Well then what s the difference.
But there s a reason we re devoting article space to such a simple topic.
8 6 2018 the difference between 60 cell and 72 cell solar panels comes down to their size.
When it comes to dimensions 60 cell panels are usually built six cells wide and ten cells tall.
If that seems too obvious i promise you.
Are they more powerful.
Solar panels can be composed by 60 or 72 cells each.
The most notable difference is that 72 cell solar panels have just 12 cells more.
72 cell panels are also six cells wide but have an additional two rows of cells that make them a bit taller.
72 cell panels are 12 taller and contain 12 more solar cells.
Most 72 cell panels still weigh less than the 50 lb restriction set by osha so can be carried by one person although their size can make it awkward to handle alone.
This makes the 72 cell a little harder to be install on roofs and heavy.
72 cell solar panels have more photovoltaic cells therefore they are larger than 60 cell panels.
