The Canon/Unisolar modules level out to their rating or better, after the initial
1000 or so hours of exposure to sunlight. This is born out by the data from the
Homepower democracy rack which shows the US64 after four years to be stable and
performing at their rating with no power loss.

Sorry guys...  Correction   The panel on the democracy rack is a UPM880 one
generation back from the US64 however the stability is un-refutable. The
difference is the US64 is a triple junction amorphous silicon module whereas the
UMP880 is a dual junction panel.

Those interested in real world data might like to look at

This is one of the Solar Power Stations in Australia using the Canon/Unisolar
panels.
