It’s important to understand the difference between the two, because your choice will determine cost and amount of roof space your solar installation requires.

Monocrystalline solar panel cells tend to achieve higher levels of efficiency because they are made of more pure silicon. You will notice a uniformity to their coloring. Their cylindrical shape also helps these cells achieve higher efficiency. When choosing between a monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panel system, it will be important to find your solar sun number scor...
