Efficiency

  • 5-8% - []

Industry Standards

Individual Modules

  • $2 for 60W - or 3W at 5% efficiency - [6]
  • Specs - [7]

Links

Technical Design

  • Best Resoirce as a Design Guide - tight packing fraction of modules appears to be a key requirement for higher power applications - [10] - as also seen in Firevolt.
  • DOE design report - 500w on a 200 degree differential from car exhaust - [11]
