My recollection is rated at about 85 watts for the set of three, but 
not exactly sure. They continued to degrade in sunlight at some very 
small % per year. (They were distributed around '89-92)

Tri-lams (3 module series) were too low in Vpp for battery charging 
this side of winter cold, so they later went to Quad-lam.

They varied a lot, so you need to test the set you have to find out 
if it's good enough for some battery system applications in warm 
weather.
