Featured Elon Musk’s big lie about Tesla is finally exposed

That's good information for the "typical panel which is about 20% efficient when directly facing the sun." I'd be much more interested in what is possible using the current state of the art equipment in good conditions. Can you provide that for us 3 prius mike?

 

Take your pick from this chart:

That's not quite what I asked about. Usually, if you denigrate a design it's because the design has specific faults. If Mike knows of the specific faults that make that design flawed, the rest of us can "stand on the shoulders of giants who came before us" if he gives us a quick description of the failure so we can jump off from there.

 

That’s a trip down memory lane. I remember in the early internet days the only reasonable and affordable way to get panels was to buy derelict ARCO panels that were being tore down en masse at the time for salvage.

only a couple websites had cheap volumes of panels that were unbelievably expensive to ship.
