“All-black modules have a more aesthetically pleasing look but lose the benefit of reflection and light trapping, resulting in a lower photocurrent — up to 3% less than a white
Traditional panels use white backsheets and silver frames, while all-black modules use — you guessed it — black backsheets and black frames. They're manufactured the same way through the same processes, except black adhesives may be used around junction boxes and other electronics on all-black modules.
white = shows colours better black = cheaper I have always liked black builds a little bit more. Also kind of biased towards white components because of how ridiculously expensive they are. Have you looked at the prices recently? For cases anyway. I like black systems better, just personal preference. I think they look better.
There aren't many differences between “traditional” solar panels and their all-black counterparts. Traditional panels use white backsheets and silver frames, while all-black modules use — you guessed it — black backsheets and black frames.
Black is way easier to hide a wire or two, with white it's got to be clean and cable managed perfectly to look good.
