I am not up to date with the latest technology (I used to be a renewable energy consultant) but it used to be the case that crystalline silicon (single crystal) modules were the way to go. They are more expensive than other silicon (and other materials) technologies but are around 15% efficiency which is about the highest you are going to get for now.
This UK site might help if you need any information: http://www.greenenergy.org.uk/pvuk2/

Just a thought - the company I used to work for now has offices in Australia. The contact person is an old colleague of mine, Paul Cowley. The Website is: http://www.itpau.com.au he should be able to point you in the right direction.
