Solar panels are blue due to the type of silicon (polycrystalline) used for certain solar panels. The blue color is mainly due to an anti-reflective coating that helps improve the absorbing capacity and efficiency of the solar panels. Black solar panels (monocrystalline) are often more efficient as black surfaces more naturally absorb light.
