Advantages of the polycrystalline solar panel
It offers lower cost compared to monocrystalline cells.
Faster payback capability compared to monocrystalline panels for their price.
There is a lot of competition in this type of technology, so it is easy to find polycrystalline panels on the market.
Disadvantages of polycrystalline solar panels
The efficiency of the polycrystalline cell compared to the monocrystalline cell is lower, in the order of 1%, so to obtain the same efficiency in solar panels we will have to install more.
