Latest panel data
I had a chance to test out my 1/2 size demonstration panel today--it now has a cover and sides.
On a 25C ambient sunny October afternoon, I measured a temperature of 70C inside my panel versus 50C on the standard panel.
The good news is that my panel generated 26.3W versus 20.5W on the standard panel. 28.3% more power...And my panel had an extra 3/8 inch polycarb sheet over the cells absorbing sun that the standard panel did not.
The power breakdown: my panel 5.46A, 4.82V; standard 4.11A, 4.99V.
When I first put my panel in the sun I measured 5.13V, but as my panel heated up the voltage dropped a little over 6% to 4.82V.
