How Many Cells are there in a Solar Panel?

 

This question is part of the Super Big Solar Panel FAQ from Solar Mango, where expert answers to over 100 important questions on solar panels are provided.

 

Ah, this depends on the specific solar panel you are talking about.

As we have explained elsewhere in our blog posts, solar panels comes in all sizes, some of them really small.

Speaking only in the context of the conventional sizes used in rooftop solar power plants and large solar farms, typically, smaller solar panels have 36 cells connected in series to give a voltage of 12 V.

However, things are a-changing.

The number of cells in a solar panel has been on the increase, and the latest solar panels are ones that come with 72 cells.
