The conversion efficiency is commonly stated on the solar panel manufacturer's data sheet.

Generally it's more important when space is at a premium and every last % counts (such as mobile installs). Otherwise the power output of the total array is the main metric (vs cost).

Solar panels are typically rated at 1000W/m2, so you could even calculate it yourself from the PV max output (in W) / PV surface area (in m2).

Mono solar panels generally have a few % bettee conversion efficiency than poly panels and are also meant to be better in low light conditions.
