<div>Hi Jay,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Is there documentation available on this side-by-side comparison?
URL?</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>In regards to the performance between
Unisolar and crystalline, there is a side by side ( same watts,
batteryless intertie with metering) installation up here on the North
coast of California, and the the Unisolar is the constant
under-performer. This includes cloudy, sunny, warm, cold
weather.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>I have seen nothing in the field to
support the Unisolar claims about better performance in low light etc.
That said, they do work better in very hot conditions, if thats
what you have.</blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Any references to recent side-by side
"shoot-outs" between Unisolar and conventional crystaline

<blockquote type="cite" cite>I am more and more often encountering
confused customers that are considering unisolar systems at zero-tilt
(we are at 40 degrees N), with plenty of partial shading, after
getting a pitch about all sorts of advantages of Uni-Solar. I
think that this product has it's role and I occasionally sell it...
But I am frustrated when I truly believe I can deliver a better net
energy production with a tilted crystalline solution (avoiding the
shaded areas). <br>
