best low light performance
Hi, Amorphous panels are clearly the best for low light performance--but are relatively speaking huge. Does any one know if Poly or Mono are better in low light?

Just for reference; The highest effieiency rating achieved so far for Amorphous "thin film" solar cells was accomplished by engineers at First Solar, being rated at 10.7% efficient.
Conventional cells have in some cases a rating of as low as 10% to as high as 20%.
Using those figures alone comparing the top rated amorphous to any other top rated type, the amorphous starts out with a 9.3 % deficiency.
Another one of those things many overlook when considering the purchase of solar panels.
Just choosing by price per watt, one can also be setteling for less efficiency.
