Kyocera [RE-wrenches]

[Larry Crutcher, Starlight Solar]

Peter,

Here's the link: http://www.gosolarcalifornia.ca.gov/equipment/pvmodule.php

I downloaded the data, created a spreadsheet, created a ranking column based on the CEC number divided by the nameplate rating times 1000. For example: The Kyocera KC-200GT is rated at 177.2. 177.2/200*1000 = 861. Now, look at Sanyo HIP-200BA3: 188.7/200*1000= 944. The Sanyo is much better at delivering the power you paid for.

I don't agree that the low performance module manufacturers will "be prone to declining interest" as long as incentives are not production based.

  If Mr. Crutcher could provide a link for the CEC ranking list, that would be
  great.  I know I haven't seen that, but totally agree with his
  recommendations for customers and installers regarding the right module
  choice.   As the industry grows and creates its history over time, and as
  annual performance numbers are accumulated, so too will we see those
  manufacturers at the top of the list succeed and become even more desired,
  and those towards the bottom of the list will be prone to declining interest
  in their products.
