Hollow core you have to fill every course, with solid units you can built two or three courses before back filling. This holds true on large high walls where you need to achieve a certain compaction factor. Solid core walls might have only one grid per every 3 courses and require compaction that you can only achieve with heavier equipment not slowing down the wall crews while the back fill is placed and compacted greatly speeds up installation
