Is the Solar Stik™ panels “100W Power Output” rating the maximum it can produce?
The Solar Stik™ power is reflected as an “average” of the complete daily power production. It is referred to as “USABLE Power”, and is the definition of how much power is actually available to the user. In most cases, the 100 Watt solar panel array will produce about 1Kilowatt-hour of Usable Power each day… The Solar Stik™ provides its solar panels with three critical factors for a panel to produce power: 1. Direct Sunlight 2. Airflow around the panels (lower operating temperatures) 3. MPPT Charge Controls Solar panel operating characteristics (Watts, Amps, Volts) are rated at “STC”, or “standard operating conditions”, which are set and vary according to individual manufacturers. Current, Voltage and Wattage at STC are NOT “maximums”, and these values can be higher or lower, depending on operating conditions and panel brand. A solar panel’s output is affected by the angle of the cells to the sun’s light rays and the cell operating temperatures. Solar panel output is usually rated at
