Hi Gang, The measurement was made at the Vodafone site Gt. Barrier Island near Auckland. The site is about 500ft above sea level. This is "Melanoma" country. Don't forget your hat and sun screen. Carl Emerson Free Power Ltd. Auckland NZ _ From: re-wrenches-boun..

Wow! That is pretty impressive and it matches the highest I've ever measured - 1285 W/m2 w/o cloud edge effect or snow and this was at 16,500' in Tibet! Nice to work in an area that can produce 28% more energy per W then most elsewhere. -jeff o >From the Solar, Wind and Hydro powered office
