Monocrystalline vs Polycrystalline – Component 4 – 55 Watt Poly check

It appears to be like the polycrystalline panels do endure below incredibly hot conditions…..
I nevertheless have concerns about the functionality and rated power output of the Setsolar 55 watt polycrystalline panel but I have to have to do a lot more screening to validate this.
The up coming check will be cooling the panel with ice drinking water on a sunny working day to see if it can reach the rated power output of 55 watts.
