While that is true, you also pay nearly $1 a watt more for the Sanyo HIP 
panels. If you compare the Sanyo to most other panels - not just Kyocera - 
on a dollar per watt basis it looks a little less rosy. The Sanyo's are one 
of the best panels on a watts/area basis, but the price can sometimes be a 
tough sell to the customer who usually does not have a clue about PTC 
ratings or anything else.
