Find out which of the main types of solar panels are right for your home. We explain the costs, how much power they produce, and how much you''ll save.
Polycrystalline solar panels are generally more affordable than their monocrystalline counterparts, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. They're a reliable energy source, although less efficient than their monocrystalline counterparts.
Typically, monocrystalline solar panels are more expensive to produce than polycrystalline panels due to their manufacturing function and higher efficiency. However, the cost gap has been narrowing over time, and both types are now more competitively priced, with only modest cost differences.
Monocrystalline panels offer higher efficiency and better performance in limited space, while polycrystalline panels provide a more budget-friendly option with reliable output.
