Sorry, my numbers are correct. For example, measured solar radiation at Miami, OK on March 30, 2016 at 2:30PM in standard units of watts/m^2.

Measured: 57 watt/m^2
Maximum Possible: 983 watts/m^2

94% degradation.

I don't see anything quantitative from you.

You are referring to testing......that great but not real time in the fields use.

That's not to say test results are incorrect, but real time in the field is far superior to use as examples.

for example

It’s possible to exceed your solar system’s power rating and produce more power that you could on a sunny day. Known as the “edge of cloud” effect, this happens when the sun passes over the outer edge of a cloud, magnifying the sunlight. The intense light causes your solar system to boost power output temporarily, which can help balance out losses from full cloud cover.
