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...

I see my error. Even though the voltage temperature coefficient (VTC) is worse, it is based on a 84 cell module, the Kyrocera is based on a 36 cell module.
To make a direct comparison, we need to compare VTC at the cell level.
Sanyo HIT: VTC = -0.142V/C/Module / 84 cells/Module = -1.69 mV/C/cell
Kyrocera: VTC = -0.082V/C/Module / 36 cells/Module = -2.28 mV/C/cell
So yes, the Sanyo HIT is more efficient.

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.
