In the shoulder months Pepco owes me money. 55 panels at 985 Watts each => 54,175 Watts total ? or 55 panels at 985 Watts total => 17.91 Watts / panel ? I am unaware of a solar panel that produces 985 Watts. I have seen some that generate 285 Watts. See, e.g., http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-26-GCL-285W-Poly-Solar-Panel-24V-285-Watt-GCL-P6-72-285-72-Cell-24V-/282370770313?hash=item41be9c0589:g:LjcAAOSwB9xXOkcv Given the price of $2,517.50 for 26 panels, 55 must have cost on the order of $5,325.48. And 55 panels at 285 W/panel --> 15,675 W That is the rated power (probably at 25 deg.C, 77 deg.F), not what would be seen on a day-to-day basis. Craig P.S.
