FAQS 4

What is a monocrystalline solar panel?

Monocrystalline panels are now the default choice for most UK homes. They are made from a single, pure silicon crystal, allowing electricity to flow more efficiently through the panel. Visually, they are usually black with a uniform finish.

What percentage of solar panels are monocrystalline?

Monocrystalline solar cells now account for 98% of solar cell production, according to a 2024 report from the International Energy Agency. This compares starkly with 2015, when just 35% of solar panel shipments were monocrystalline, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

What does a polycrystalline solar panel look like?

These panels usually have a blue, speckled appearance. Typical efficiency ratings for polycrystalline panels sit at around 15 to 18 per cent. As a result, more panels and more roof space are needed to achieve the same output as a monocrystalline solar panel system.

How efficient are polycrystalline solar panels?

Typical efficiency ratings for polycrystalline panels sit at around 15 to 18 per cent. As a result, more panels and more roof space are needed to achieve the same output as a monocrystalline solar panel system. For homes with larger roofs, this may not be an issue, but it can be a limiting factor for many UK properties.
