Q
What is the actual power output I can expect from these flexible panels?
A
The actual power output depends on several factors including sunlight conditions, temperature, installation angle, and panel maintenance. Under standard test conditions (STC), you'll get the rated power, but real-world conditions typically yield 85-90% of rated capacity.
