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?

Actually look at that spread all along the bottom. Those are days or portions of days that hardly get over 200 even mid day. They might matter a lot to some people.
The data is for a year: The spread across the bottom is winter, the data at the top is summer. We don't camp much in winter so we don't need panels optimized for that. So yeah, if you full time in your trailer, low light levels might be important. Me, I'll just tilt my panels or buy more. Like I said, I just don't have the roof area.

And that narrow high density portion for a few hours after sunrise and before sunset? That is a *lot* of hours. That's why it is so dark.
It's not a lot of hours compared to the whole day. Like I said, it doesn't make sense where we live (sunny Colorado) to optimize our system for the shoulder or low light conditions. Not when the low light panels are more expensive and take up so much space. Of course YMMV.
