best low light performance
Hi, Amorphous panels are clearly the best for low light performance--but are relatively speaking huge. Does any one know if Poly or Mono are better in low light?

What exactly is a low light level? Here's a picture of our poly silicone panels on a an overcast day, it looked pretty cloudy to me. Is this a 200W/m2 day?:

The panels were doing surprisingly well - 220 watt array laying flat with 74 watts output:

How cloudy would it need to be to make to make a thin film solution worthwhile? Would it ever make sense with the limited size of an RV versus a utility sized grid? I dunno but for me the small size of our roof made the PSI approach obvious...
