 In practical terms, it's common to see a maximum of 75% of STC under good conditions, more under great conditions, and much less under poor solar conditions. And about half of that in winter.

-The location and season both have profound effects on solar harvest. [[opinion:frater_secessus:panelsizesforinsolation#representative_areas|For example]], Phoenix AZ has about over 8.5x the amount of solar power available as Seattle WA in the winter.  For any given location, winter harvest will be about half of summer harvest.

 You can estimate solar harvest using [[electrical:solar:pvwatts|models like PVwatts]].

 Pro:
-  * +30% daily harvest is possible, depending on the sun's position((peak harvest may be much higher at some times but daily harvest is more applicable for offgrid vanlife))
+  * optimal tilt will increase harvest when the sun is low and skies are clear.((peak harvest numbers are more impressive but of less import.))
-  * can be used to increase harvest if roof space is maxxed (cannot add more panel)
+  * can be used to further increase harvest if roof space is maxxed (cannot add more panel)
