I don't see any calcs provided from anyone else to refute mine other than a broad stroke qualitative "Just believe me".

Unless the panel is from NASA or some other govt funded agency developing a super solar cell, the facts are the maximum upper limit for today's technology is about 16 watts per sq foot. The rest is just math. As the other poster said, you can ask someone to believe you because it's proprietary but for anyone else who know anything about the technology, they can call BS.

Oh, and as for the comment about controller vs converter, please don't try to divert the issue. The point is that there is another "thing" in the system that sucks energy and adds weight, period.
