Polycrystalline Monocrystalline Solar Panels

Monocrystalline solar panels have solar cells made from a single crystal of silicon while polycrystalline solar panels have solar cells made from many silicon fragments melted together.

Polycrystalline monocrystalline solar panels.

Monocrystalline solar panels are dark black in color while polycrystalline solar panels are blue in color. Polycrystalline solar cells are manufactured like monocrystalline panels a seed crystal is placed into molten silica. The typical polycrystalline panel will have a bluer shade while the monocrystalline panel will be darker black in color. Polycrystalline solar panels will appear somewhat differently in terms of color.

Polycrystalline solar panels are the blue colored solar panels that have a less efficiency level. The main difference between the two technologies is the type of silicon solar cell they use. If the color of your solar roof matters to you you should know that monocrystalline vs.
