    so much for efficiency loss of a older panel! I seen 130 watts output, mid day, for the short wile the clouds cleared. Sunday is the only time I can actually monitor output, as I have to physically be there to monitor output haha. even when its cool and cloudy out I'm still getting at lest 25w.

    Yea, edge of cloud events can give you some surprisingly good power numbers.

    Note that many charge controllers seem to estimate the output current by 5-10% high (nobody is ever unhappy if their solar system seems to output more than rated power:roll:).

    And no system generates a lot of power in bad weather (or if partially shaded:cry:).

    Other than the 130w spike, 100-110w seems to be peak output so far.
