" Having said that, for a given power rating, they do perform better at low light levels than crystalline panels - which is worth having on a dismal winter's day. "

"Amorphous panels are clearly the best for low light performance--but are relatively speaking huge."
I think---you should have googled better?harold1946 wrote:
All data shows thin film (amorphous) is the least efficient of the four types of panels, and has the lowest power output per square foot of all, in all light conditions.
I found all of those and many others. Its quite easy to find an article to support ones view.
"Of the three basic solar panel types--monocrystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous--molycrystalline is the most efficient in collecting solar energy and therefore somewhat more effective in regions of low sunlight. Monocrystalline panel, while more efficient, are only slightly so."
