It needs at least several seasons to compare properly. If I publish results now there will follow a tedious barrage of 'aah buts' and 'what ifs' which I wish to avoid. The performance of different manufacturers' panels varies under differing meterological conditions, day lengths, and temperatures.

I was going to update ( within 2 days.. I might add ) but after careful consideration I think i'm going to wait a few seasons too as ppl could get the wrong end of stick with the information provided............

It will take a year to give an accurate answer, since the characteristics of both panels may result in one out-performing the other under certain seasonal conditions. Day length, temperature, light intensity variations, and so on.

How is your real world side by side panel test progressing Sanyo v Hengji progressing?
1 year has passed since your initial posting Sanyo v Hengji: The Ultimate side by side long term real-world test.
Many forum members will be interested to hear your results. :ihih:

Hi, yes, I'm still here, but distracted by other projects this Spring. The panels are still there and producing what look like interesting results. But I'm having trouble getting a Serial port connection to a modern PC to download all the stored data for publication. Please be patient!
Cheers
