No I am claiming the conversion efficiency is *not the measure* of low light efficiency as defined by percentage of full power output at a lower light level. We frequently discuss getting say 1 amp out of a 200w panel in low light. I've never seen anyone make a claim here that 1 amp from a square meter of panels is good, bad or indifferent. Unless I misunderstand your earlier points, you seemed to be bristling at claims of good low light performance for panels other than the type you bought. Nobody but you is making claims about low light performance per square meter that I recall. People are making claims about low light performance vs. nominal wattage rating.
I am also claiming that efficiency may get worse non linearly as lumens drop, and get worse on a different curve on different panels and types. No magic. No violations of the laws of physics.
