On that solar power train to Munich….

So I’m on a train in Germany and can no longer count on both hands the number of homes I see with solar panels on their roofs.
Now Munich isn’t exactly “beach” weather, yet the use of solar around these parts is amazing. No surprise, when we wonder where all the solar supply in the world is going, its due simply to incentives and a greater concern for the environment.
Yet these panels were covered by snow! I can think of no better a testimonial for our new thinfilm slates than consumers who have suffered getting virtually no power from crystalline modules due to coverage, such as snow.
The fact is that power in solar is like power in a stereo. The true rating in a stereo is what you can listen to without that terrible distortion taking over. In solar, its what power the meters say you are getting, not the label on the back.
