Monocrystalline vs. Polycrystalline Solar Panels - What’s the Difference?
Ғылым және технология
See options of mono and poly solar panels at altE’s website: www.altestore.com/store/Solar... .
We often get asked by customers what’s the difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels. Here’s a surprising comparison of the differences (hint: not as significant as you might think).

This panel can put out close to 100 watts kzread.infoUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.
This is what the internet is for - for me anyway. I can learn things at my leisure, hardly a book required, taught by people who know what they're talking about for free. Before the "net, I'd have to attend a special class somewhere at some cost, materials required. Thi was well worth watching as have been many others. Thanks!

I'm a real late comer on solar systems. Looking forward to educate myself. Thanks for putting this up.

it's about time solar panels were explained in plain English. thank you alt e. and thank you Amy
Comparison is clear, informative and lucid. It solved many of my doubts on solar panels. Immense thanks for preparation and presentation.
Your video is brilliant, you are the first person I've heard that has quickly, clearly and concisely described the difference between mono and poly panels, well done and thanks. Just need to convince everybody now to start getting them on their roof tops.

Absolutely excellent! Technical, objective, and fair comparison of the two technologies. Thank you!
This is the best quick comparison I've seen so far. Well presented too. Thanks!

Lets see, SHE deliberately left out the TRUTH. Poly produces MORE KWH per day that Mono. Why? Because Mono has to be pointed directed at the sun and or put on a tracker to get full output. Poly can be off up to 10 degrees to get the same power. Obviously they are over stocked in Mono so its the best thing since sliced bread now.

I see little evidence that Angle of Incidence has a meaningfully divergent effect on mono vs. poly. If you have a citation for the claim I'd be happy to read it and revise my position if needed. Digression: folks who strive for Critical Thinker status (as you indicate in your profile) generally avoid emotional language and groundless accusation, and try not to project motivations onto others.

thanks a bunch, just the information i was looking for, short, precise, informative and to the point. Much Appreciated
Nice presentation. Well organized and informative. Excellent delivery.
Real real good presentation. I hope the videos on the other components are as good and clear. Thank you.
A very informative, well presented video.
Always enjoy your solar explanations. Job well done!
Thank You Amy ! It was informative and exhaustive. Much appreciated.
Thanks for a well done quick explanation. You definitely answered my questions about the different panel types.
Greetings from Germany! Thanks for enlighten me, Amy!
Good Job and explanation made simple. I was leaning towards Mono.... over Poly..... but now I realize it's not critical to worry about either. Thanks for breaking it down!!! :D
WOW! Funny how things change. Good explanation, and thumb up for the video. Thanks Amy.
Thank you for this very nice explanation! There is a mistake made however at 4:00 to 4:40. The short-circuit current actually increases with temperature, hence the positive temperature coefficient. The open-circuit voltage decreases (much faster) and the overall power output also decreases; both have negative temperature coefficients.
This is the best comparison information I've found yet.
Excellent excellent excellently presented and very easy to understand. Great job.
Thanks Amy. Great video with good technical explanations and examples.
I really love this. Answered ALL the questions I have in mind and allayed my fears about Polycrystalline Panels. Thanks!
Great video! Texas heat can stay over 100 degrees F for months, so it would definitely pay to use the Monos! Thank you very much!
Thank you Amy! That's was as easy to understand as it was to watch!
I think just use what looks good to you either the color or the performance. Thanks for the video.
To those interested:...…...I had a mismatched, 4,400 watt array that was Cooled by a single (Isolated) 12v panel hooked directly to a computer fan, drawing cool air from corrugated tube, just underneath the ground. Not needed when sun was at low angle, so no battery needed. It helped to produce more power during hot days, instead of common overheating losses.
Really nice breakdown of the solar panels and pluses n minuses
AMY BEUDER GREAT PRESENTATION ON COMPARISONS,,RESPECT FROM PAKISTAN.
Thank you, Professor, for this valuable information
I love this video quick and pack pack with so much information. Thank you
Thanks for this excellent explanation! Very clear and covered it all.
Nice comparison of mono vs. poly panels. Both work great so long as you buy Tier 1. If you are space constrained you will want to go with mono because you can achieve greater energy density. But for most homes and businesses, poly will work just fine. Let's grow solar!

Hi Tim, what does tier 1 refer to? Thank you.

Tier 1 solar panels are built with higher standards (to last longer and produce abundant solar power) and have a highly regarded reputation within the solar industry for quality and service
Great Post! Enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing!
Nice job Amy it looks like you love what you do which is good
Very well presented. Thank you for this video!
You explained it simply so evan I could understand, thanks.

LOL @ Period! (4:59). Thanks Lady. I have 4 monos but haven't put them on the roof yet. I want to make them portable.
Thank you for taking the time to explain :)
Clear and concise. Thank you.
Excellent information. Thank You !
Awesome ! absolutely awesome
thanks Amy. well understood
I have mounted 6 mono panels (300watt eac). I m planning to add more panels. Can i combine them with 4 poly panels of same wattage? Will it affect over all efficiency? Or go for mono panels only. Here temp go up to 46c during summer.

You are in a location that would benefit from mono panels because of the extreme heat. If you can't get them, and have to use poly panels, it may be worthwhile to get a second charge controller to run the poly panels and not have them affect the mono panels. I suggest comparing the temperature coefficient on the datasheet between the 2 types of panels you are looking at. If the numbers are similar, it may not be a problem.

Amazing comparasion!
Excellent Presentation!!!
WOW I have that very same ARCO panel u just showed and yes mine still works too. Bought it for $5 at a flea market some 10 years ago and it is still in service.Taking it down next month and replacing it with something newer.

I have mono panels and when I got them I tested them in the winter and they outperformed the giving data 2 years later they still outperform the giving data in the winter. Is there any difference in longevity of life between mono and poly panels.

Sorry for the delay in response. That's a really good question. I reached out to solar panel manufacturers who make both types, and was told that there is no difference in the technology that would cause one or the other to degrade faster than the other. The National Renewables Energy Lab (NREL) has published papers on the different degradation rates of module technologies; the primary contributor to degradation between mono and poly is quality of manufacturing and material selection, not the cell technology itself. So it's really more about how they are made, not which technology.
