Thanks. Despite Solyndra claims of an 80% increase in power over flat
panels, I don't see how they can outperform Sanyo or Sunpower modules
(approaching 20% efficiency) when thin film is what, 11-12% at best,
regardless of how much reflected light they capture. In addition, the
Solyndra 190 watt panel power density is only 8.99 w/ ft2, Sanyo HIT is
15.85 w/ft2.
