Right. Panels are so cheap now that, unless you are limited in how many panels you can physically install, lower efficiency just means another panel. Even then, maybe you cant a pair of them in place of one so one picks up morning light, and the other afternoon.

Yea.
- "This energy storage is only 30% efficient".
- "Yes but it's dirt cheap and so is solar peak power."
Not only would I buy this for my boat, but I would replace my more efficient spectra watermaker with it. Less noise and less maintenance are massive advantages.
