The nominal rating is a peak rating, in my experience the sustained output will be somewhat less, even in direct sunlight.

The nameplate rating/testing if ever done, is done in a test bed with artificial light and perfect angle. Edit: I remember I did once get an above nameplate actual power output from a panel once - using MPPT, at high altitude, at the maximum insolation time for the year (mid-California in the mountains, right around the summer solstice). It only lasted for 20 minutes though.
