"SunPower makes higher efficiency solar panels, which are placed on trackers that follow the sun throughout the day." Higher efficiency than what? Or is it a well defined term regarding solar panels, which I'm unaware of?
- ck2 14y agoIt's a marketing claim by the manufacturer: http://us.sunpowercorp.com/about/the-worlds-standard-for-solar/most-efficient-solar/ http://us.sunpowercorp.com/about/the-worlds-standard-for-sol... Slightly more surface area, back mirror, etc.
- plorkyeran 14y agoMost manufactures create "standard efficiency" solar panels, which convert around 15% of the energy that hits them from the sun into electricity, while SunPower's convert over 20%. They also cost significantly more, so in practice SP's modules are usually the most space-efficient, but not always the most cost efficient.

- Dylan16807 14y agoI agree with them. It's a context issue, not a grammar issue.
