The Solar neighborhoods all seem to use the thin film or Kaneka panels because they say you get more power in the hotter months because these panels have a lower temperature coefficient. But I recently did the numbers and they simply don't stack up. The difference between Kaneka and typical crystalline panels in power specs is less than 0.1%/degree C. This translates to a 5% difference in hot conditions. This is less than the power tolerance difference for most panels out there. Given the cost is practically the same, does anyone know if there is another reason why these guys are going this way?
