There are 2 types of solar panels that are built with an aluminium frame, Monocrystalline (Mono) and Polycrystalline (Poly). Mono is recognised by its bright blue, almost black colour, while Poly has a more mottled blue shade.
Mono cells consist of single crystal blocks which gives them a higher efficiency due to purer silicon than Poly cells, which have many small crystals. This is particularly noticeable in cloudy weather and when the sun does not have a direct angle to the panel (indirect solar radiation). The Mono cell generally has a longer lifespan. We provide a performance guarantee on our solar panels as follows: 90% for the first 10 years and at least 80% over a total of 25 years.
