Post by: cajerridoc on February 19, 2011, 02:58:59 PM Sadly mine are not producing yet due to a delay of several weeks to get a meter but should be done this Tuesday. We did test it for around half an hour and got nearly 5kWh's but it was all adding on to my meter so it is off.
I was just reading an discusion about cooling your panels on hot days to increase output. They were getting 10-30% increases by running or sprinkling water over the panels during the hottest hours. Robin |
