mono vs poly real life testing
Hi folks, This popped up and I thought it worth posting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ_jrSAk-DU

The 100w is under testing conditions of a solar lab, of xXxX amount of radiation per square meter
The testing specs are published and are the same for all panels
Just about the only way to obtain this in RV real world use is by camping on a mountain top at 10000 ft
The simple facts are the poly's have a larger surface area and out performed the monos in watts out put,
Now if you want to juggle the numbers, the mono panels put out slightly more power per square inch/foot/meter of panel area, so the mfg can legally claim higher efficiency (they never tell you , it is per square measured areas)
But for most RV owners that don't mean squat!
300w of poly will give the avg RV more power per day than 300w mono, and that is what we want, when we put solar panels on the roof
