Solar Max laboratory Testing Information

Notes; Estimated output of typical solar panels (4' X 8') is 1550 Kwh/year based on 2000 hours of sunshine per year (Solar Works Inc. US Calculation). This calculation can be equated to a figure of 0.78 Kw per hour of sunshine. The 240 Solar Max  would achieve 2640 Kwh/year based on 2000 hours of sunshine. This shows a 70% increase over the typical PV solar panel.

What can be seen is that the output temperature of the solar panel quickly reached 100 Degrees F. Temperature in the room rose 10 Degrees F in a matter of 10 minutes and a further 10 degrees in the next 10 minutes. This temperature was maintained or showed a slight increase in the next 60 minutes, all with the early morning sun. Performance would increase as the sun rose in the sky.
