-Higher efficiency doesn't mean the panel makes more power;  it means it makes more power from a given area.  100w is 100w, but you might be able to fit a 110w panel high-efficiency panel in the same space as a regular-efficiency panel.
+Higher efficiency doesn't mean the panel makes more power;  it means it makes **more power from a given area**.  100w is 100w, but you might be able to fit a 110w panel high-efficiency panel in the same space as a regular-efficiency panel.
 In general, mono has higher efficiency than poly, and poly has higher efficiency than thin film.

 Note that in this example the Power (W) rating is 190, which is the Vmp x Imp (28.60 x 6.64 = 189.904W).
-In real world conditions [[electrical:solar:output|power output will likely be less]] than under optimal lab conditions and the Vmp may not be at the voltage given on the label.  Vmp will vary due to local conditions like temperature, shade, and sunshine.  An [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|MPPT charge controller]], if present, will sweep the range of voltages regularly to find Vmp under the existing conditions.
