Which Type of Solar Panel is Best?

[howson]

Fascinating study done by Victron showing the difference in solar yield from different types of solar panels. Full documentation here: https://www.victronenergy.com/blog/2...el-works-best/

Spoiler alert--after viewing the information, IMO there's won't be a discernible performance difference on an RV regardless of type (monocrystalline or polycrystalline).

Thanks Howard. Very interesting but not surprising. In my opinion, you'd be better off parking your rig in a different angle or angling your solar cells for a larger improvement that far outweighs what type of cells you have. My personal rule is to only pay about $1 per watt of solar cell ($100 for 100 watts). This seems to be the going rate nowadays. It's cheap enough in my opinion that you can install a little more than you think you need to make up for any inefficiencies.
