Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Solar : Cooling solar panels might pay (well?).

Observations are not objrctive, for making comparisons with solar panels. This example with a water pump, is probably more related to load matching than panel performance with temperature.
