Home solar panels is a term used for solar panels that, because of their size, technology or other characteristics, are suitable for use in an solar installation at a home.
The term by the way can mean solar electric (photovoltaic) or solar thermal (solar water heating panel).
In the context of the solar photovoltaic systems it means a photovoltaic panel for use in a home installation.
Principally there is no recognized difference between home solar panels and other (commercial solar panels, or industrial solar panels). But the ones preferred for home installations could be of a specific size to fit the roof surface area available, also to be more convenient to install on a roof (the most usual place to install solar panels for home use).
Also in addition to the regular and widely available panels that would be used both for home and industrial installations there are some kinds of solar panels specifically made for home, on roof installation. Such a flexible, stick on solar panels (or actually this is a case where the term module will be more suitable since a panel means something wide and flat and rigid, while here we are talking about long narrow strips of rubber like material that on the one side has adhesive to stick to the roof and on the other side has flexible photovoltaic material.
There are other kinds of photovoltaic modules that are specifically made for home installation.
