Well folks here is another crazy OverTheTop idea of sucking the hot air out from under the panels and see if and how much it drops the panel - roof temperature ? Currently the panels - roof heat at least 50 deg above the exterior temp. So if it's 80 deg F - your solar panels are at least 130 deg F or hotter. Now all panels are rated to give their best performance with the panel temp at 25 deg C = about 70 deg F. This is why your 200 watt panel only produces 140 watts when it's 75-80 F outside- yet your paying for 200 watts. If it was close to 32 deg F - then and only then with full sun you may actually get 200 watts. Finally when your panel is 20 years old it will only produce 80% of what it did when it was new.
Good to know-thanx
