When you are deciding on a solar panel for your home or commercial space, consider NOCT, rather than STC, which is a more controlled environment result. NOCT on the other hand is real life and

NOCT measures air temperature instead of cell temperature. This captures how heat naturally builds up in rooftop installations. Why does this matter? Ever noticed panels lose efficiency
