This is not entirely correct. The manufacturing process / quality of the panel, orientation and wiring/regulation plays a big part in the overall output.
As far as "The monos only produce in direct over head sun light." That is incorrect. If this statement were true I'd be running a generator 24/7 for about 3-4 months of the year (gray-outs in the winter). I have both Monos and Polys and everyday they each send watts back into the battery bank and have for over a decade. Not being hooked to the utility line means all the pieces better work or I'm sitting in the dark; something the town goes through from time-to-time but not happening here.
