Monocrystalline vs polycrystalline solar panels
Which is better, monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar panels, and why?
Expert Trade Answers
"Monocrystalline solar panels offer better efficiency because they're produced from pure silicon. They have a sleek, black color and produce more power per square foot but are more expensive. Polycrystalline solar panels use multi-crystalline silicon, which results in lower efficiency."

"Black versus blue, efficiency versus costs. Aesthetics is the main difference. Mono (al black) tend to be associated with residential installations due to asthetic whereas poly (blue) are normally cheaper & used on commercial or utility scale installations.
