Our worry about the effect of high temperature on the Siemens M-75 panels was sadly confirmed during system test. The intense heat sapped their peak power voltage. Current tapered off as the modules got hotter, dropping from 18 amps to less than 13. We confirmed this by pouring a couple of buckets of cool water over the modules and, sure enough, the current would rise. We noted the same effect with passing clouds current would increase as the modules cooled. The Amazon's heat was too much for...
