At least I think it was you. Asked about temp effects and what temp panels are referenced to.
well, I just got a 100 W portable panel from solar world. And looked at the panel spec's. Nominal panel temp for rated spec's for Imp and Isc and Vmp is 47C.
Which works out to pretty close to the panel temps I was seeing in my report on MPPT controllers for panel temp at a 70F ambient.
Link to 100w portable panel from solar world? My Googler is having a hard time finding that product.
Well, looks like solar blvd is kinda like Costco. If you see it and want it buy it because it may be gone tomorrow.
Yup, looked, and it looks like the 100 and 160 W panels are gone. All that I found was a 120W panel.
The webpage does not keep up on current inventory. They have 160W folding, for like $245 or $249. The 120w folding is $195.
I suggest you call them and place an order, the web page is not correct on all their current offerings... some items are there, but do go on back order. They had 160w in stock when I bought my 120W job 10 or 12 days ago.
Call them. 951 279 8100
I bought the 120w job and here at 34*N , I had no problems pulling in 6.33 amps, and my battery was only run with some lights for 15 mintutes before I plugged in the solar panel with a $15 RC charger reader. This was a week ago, late Octobrer, so the sun is sitting a lot lower now, than most of the time when I camp.
