Mono and Polykristalina
Kristalina solar cells composed of silicon mixed with various substances to obtain the desired function. The Kristalina solar cells can also be divided into two types: polykristalina also known as multikristaline and monokristaline solar cells.

Polykristalina or multi Kristalina photovoltaic (we continue to mention those who polykristalina) consists of several silicon crystals, which are pressed together as to form a solar cell. With the solar cell is composed of many small crystals, they\'ll get the characteristic blueshimmering appearance. However, there are other shades of color in polykristalina solar cells to.

Mono Kristalina solar cells consist of a single large crystal, the crystal produced in the same way as the semiconductors used in electronics components. This means that the mono Kristalina solar cells have a more efficient structure and then you get a slightly better efficiency than the polykristalina solar cells. The typical components of a monokristalin solar cell is that its surface has a much more even color compared to polykristalina solar cells. The color of the solar cells are usually dark blue or black. Then the mono Kristalina solar cells have a more complicated manufacturing process, these also slightly more expensive than polykristalina solar cells.

The efficiency lies in the mono Kristalina solar cells at about 15% while the polykristalina solar cells is around 13-14%. The efficiency is measured at an illumination of 1000 watts per square meter and at 25-degree temperature. This means that a monokristalin solar cell provides about 150 watts per square meter.
