The signal in a mono camera is higher as a result of all of the pixels being used and producing a spectrum specific read-up charge.

In short....mono sensors are more sensitive.
So...what you’re saying is that a mono sensor, with a colour filter over the pixels, is more sensitive than the same sensor with a colour filter array over it? At the pixel level? Are you sure about that?
