Monocrystalline vs. Polycrystalline Solar Panels (2024)

Monocrystalline solar panels incur an efficiency loss of 0.3% to 0.8% and their degradation rate is around 0.5%. After the first ten years, the panels will operate at 95% efficiency and in twenty years, at 90% efficiency. Generally, monocrystalline solar systems come with a warranty of 25 years or more.

Understanding Monocrystalline Solar Panels

The monocrystalline silicon in the solar panel is doped with impurities such as boron and phosphorus to create a p-n junction, which is the boundary between the positively charged (p-type) and negatively charged (n-type) regions of the silicon. This junction is what enables the solar panel to convert sunlight into electricity.
