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?

Hi Salvo,
Actually this thread is supposed to be about which is better in low light conditions. Poly or Mono. I'd appreciate your opinion (you have helped so many folks so often).
There is one report of Poly doing much better than mono in a side by side real life test.
I plan on populating the rest of my roof with either poly or mono panels. They are the same price, same size, and nearly identical wattage (5 watts difference on the rating). But it will be a flat install, so I want the best low light response possible, between poly and mono.
If you are seeking the best low light efficiency possible, what you want is the Sanyo hybrid, dubbed Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin Layer (HIT). The highest conversion efficiency ranging from 15.3 to 16.4. Rated #1.
Sanyo's 190-watt module earned a 17.4 percent efficiency rating. Industry average is 12 percent.
