The best photovoltaic solar panels
Thought I would share some information on what are rated as the best/most efficient panels available. Sanyo HIT Power N Series. The cells are hybrids of monocrystalline silicone, surrounded by ultr...

Are you talking about their temperature performance?
Temperature Performance
"As temperatures rise, HIT Power solar panels produce 10% or more electricity (kWh) than conventional crystalline silicon solar panels at the same temperature."
Looking at their spec, their temperature coefficient for Voc is not good (-0.142V/C). My Kyrocera panel has a better spec than that (-0.082V/C).
I don't understand how they get better efficiency at higher temp.

One of the unique features is that their efficiency increases as surrounding temperatures rise, where most will loose.
I believe what they are saying is that do not drop off as temperatures rise as most panels do. Some as much as 60%.
