Monocrystalline solar panels are made from a single large crystal of silicon and ahve a mosaic pattern. Manufacturing of these panels is more difficult, having to undergo the Czochralski process used to manufacture monocrystalline long bar. Before cutting the required board cells, the cylindrical rods must be adjusted to show a square section.
Unlike polycrystalline panels, monocrystalline panels have a uniform surface and the same color. Due to using a very pure single crystal, these panels are more expensive but more efficient.
These types of solar panels are the most efficient in absorbing sunlight and converting it into electricity. Monocrystalline panels face the best in lower light conditions when other types of solar panels are inefficient.

Advantages of monocrystalline solar panels
• The highest yield -between 15-20%, which is created because the use of a pure silicon. The performance of these types of panels remains almost constant throughout life;
• In the diffuse light, monocrystalline panels have a higher energy yield than other cell types;
• In terms of space available to install, monocrystalline panels are the best option, installed capacity is greater than the solar polycrystalline or amorphous solar panels.
• Monocrystalline panels have a long life, most manufacturers giving a guarantee of 80% power output for at least 25 years.
Disadvantages of Monocrystalline Solar Panels
• The manufacturing technology is more complex, thus presenting a higher cost than other technologies;
• Investing in monocrystalline photovoltaic panels sunk a longer period;
• Due Czochralski process used to produce these types of panels, a large portion of the original silicon is lost;
• Monocrystalline panels are less effective in high temperature conditions.
