as you can see there 12W. then i bought this kit:

these four panels are supossed to produce 60W.
hmm im confused the panels are the same size and the only difference i can see between the panels is the 12W panel seems to have approx twice as many junction lines on it. how can they get 15W out of the same size panel? now just to confuse things further, ive got two old ICP solar panels which are about the same size but look like the Maplin's 12W panels? ive got a real head scratch on here, either ICP are telling porkies on there panels or Maplins are. oh the Maplin panels are made in China by a company called Topraysolar. any help clearing up this confusion would be appreciated.
That could be simply different parts from the same line separated by testing, or parts with different manufacturing processes.
I see no problem! B^>

I wonder sometimes if you can actually see much difference without an MPPT controller ?
