Monocrystalline vs polycrystalline: which is better?

Monocrystalline panels

  • Efficiency: 20–23%
  • Price: more expensive
  • Colour: uniform black
  • Service life: 25–30 years
  • Work well in low light

Polycrystalline panels

  • Efficiency: 15–17%
  • Price: cheaper
  • Colour: blue, crystal effect
  • Service life: 20–25 years
  • Work in average light

Which one?

Today monocrystalline N-type TOPCon is the market standard. The price difference is now within 10–15%, but efficiency is 30% higher. We only recommend N-type monocrystalline panels.
