Solar panels can be divided into monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and amorphous silicon, but now most solar panels are mainly monocrystalline and polycrystalline. What is the difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels?

1. The arrangement is different: monocrystalline silicon solar panels are monocrystalline silicon solar cells with high conversion efficiency in accordance with different strings, and the way the array composition of the component body. Polycrystalline silicon solar panels are made of polycrystalline silicon solar cells arranged in different arrays to form different power photovoltaic modules.

2. The shape is different: monocrystalline silicon surface background color is black or light blue, and polycrystalline silicon surface background color is mostly blue. In addition, the same power of monocrystalline panels compared with polycrystalline panels, polycrystalline panels are slightly larger than monocrystalline panels.

3. The use of different battery cells: monocrystalline silicon solar panels with monocrystalline silicon solar cells; and polycrystalline silicon solar panels with polycrystalline silicon solar cells.

4. Different conversion efficiencies: monocrystalline silicon solar cell photoelectric conversion efficiency of about 15%, the highest reached 24%; and polycrystalline silicon photoelectric conversion efficiency of about 12%.

5. Different manufacturing costs: monocrystalline solar panels have a large production cost, much higher than the manufacturing cost of polycrystalline solar panels.

6. The application of a wide range of different: Although the two applications are the same, because of the higher cost of monocrystalline solar panels, in terms of popularity and wider than polycrystalline solar panels.
