The difference between photovoltaic panels and monocrystalline silicon
The main difference between the two technologies is the type of silicon solar cell they use: monocrystalline solar panels have solar cells made from a single silicon crystal.

Both harness silicon photovoltaic technology to convert sunlight into clean electricity, but they differ in cell construction and performance capabilities.
The difference is that, instead of being extruded as a single pure ingot, the silicon crystal cools and fragments on its own.
Monocrystalline (mono) panels use a single silicon crystal, while polycrystalline (poly) panels use multiple crystals melted together. Here’s a breakdown of how each type of cell is made.
