Spec sheets are available on all the manufacture sites to corroborate the efficiency #s. |
I'm only giving general numbers,every manufacturer is different.The coefficient number is not the efficiency percentage. The Coefficient is used as a multiplier . Multiply the degree celcius by the Coefficent number and that will give you your efficiency percentage. These are numbers when the panels are brand new, as they age they get worse.
