as i recall
unisolar panels will convert uv to electric
they don't need uv protection
iirc they convert light of three different spectrrums
yes they are almost twice the sq ft per watt than some new high power mono cystaline panels
But place two 60 watt panels one unisolar one mono crystal side by side in heavy overcast conditions and measure the output of each
i think you will find the unisolar will out perform the mc panel
that being said you CAN fit 120w of MC panel in the same space as 60w of unisolar panel
i do not know whether that 120w will produce more power than the 60w unisolar under the same heavy overcast
it has been said many times on this forum if someone wants the most watts from the available roof space get crystaline panels
but if your power needs can be meet by a set number of watts that can be obtained from thinflim like unisolar, then the unisolar will produce power when the others do not
and they are lighter and there is no glass to break
