24 volt solar panel recommendations?
Is this panel decent? Or is there reason to buy one of the slightly more expensive panels from Solar Blvd? Friend has Blue Sky controller capable of using the 24 volt panels. https://www.solarbl...

Hi,
It is the experience of folks on the forums that poly panels do some what better in shade or partial shade.
The extra efficiency of mono only allows a slightly smaller panel. If a poly panel fits--then the end result is the same number of watts.

Hi tpi,
I believe solar panels work, or they don't. So long as there is an ability to exchange a non working panel I'd go on best price.
I would want as many diodes per panel as possible, and I'd probably favor Poly over Mono.
Why?
"Monocrystalline cells have a higher efficiency than polycrystalline cells due to the structure being made from one large crystal as opposed to many small ones. In addition to having an overall better efficiency, monocrystalline panels can perform up to 10% better than polycrystalline panels in high ambient temperatures."
