[RE-wrenches] Uni-Solar, Kaneka.now Panasonic?

[Larry Crutcher, Starlight Solar Power Systems]

Dave and August,

I'm looking for high performance (capturing the most energy), not high necessarily high efficiency (using less space). Efficiency would be a bonus, though. LG are just average performance. Example: Uni-Solar was one of the lowest efficiency modules ever made but holds the record for highest performance.

Thank you,

Larry Crutcher

Hi Larry,

LG is selling Neon panels which are pushing 300 W for a 60-cell
arrangement. My understanding is that they are sold out in the US but
sooner or later more will be imported. Focused Energy is a distributor of
them.

SunPower is our workhorse high efficiency module. The new X series 335 and
345 are hard to beat.

Best,

August

Wrenches,

What high performance PV modules are being sold in the US? I can't find
Panasonic modules anymore. I have written to them twice but they can't
direct me to any distribution in the US. They insist that Sunwize will
have them but Sunwize says they have no plans yet to purchase again.

From what I can tell, the next best thing is Sunpower modules with -0.38%
/K temp coefficient. Are there any others to consider?
