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?

If you know you are going to be in low light situations, it's best to prepare for them, don't ya think.
To me unisolar panels are not what's available in bright light but what you can get when the others get either too little to help or nothing at all.
You want to talk footprint. It would take four of my Schott poly 230w panels to get what Tuna gets in the shade with 256w. That's 920 watts and the controller to handle them in bright light at up to 15a each would be way too expensive not to mention I don't have the roof space.
I still may sell off my two panels and buy a pair of 128w or 144w Uni solar strips. They will provide for the 30-40 ah we use daily in shade or bright light and that means the Champ stays quiet.
