Did you notice that I said cell temperature? The irradiance for that test is 1000W/m^2. If you have 1 m^2 panel, about 800W goes to heat. Panel temperature rises substantially.JiminDenver wrote:

Just where do you plan on camping?
Great, so tell me what conditions you expect to see that in. I have never seen the drop off BFL speaks of and my panels see the 90's at altitude and 100s here in Denver. No one sees more intense sun than we do at altitude so I'm trying to determined just how hot it has to be to get a panel temp of 75c.
