[21:33:08] <exec> 08└─For many applications, higher efficiency isn't really very beneficial. Higher efficiency translates to a smaller area of the installation. Many (but not all) installations are not constrained by available area. The key issue for solar panels is cost. How much does it cost to install a kW of generati...
