I have just been on the road with a fellow Funster who has one of those "sun seeking" solar panels (135watt?) gadgets.
It is great fun... you hear it whirr up in to postion and it tracks the sun through the day and it folds itself up when the sun switches off at night.
We checked its amps with my, less sophisticated, system of three 75/85 watt panels stuck down on the top of my roof and on each occasion (at different times of day) mine gave a reading higher than his.
Not scientific I agree as the readouts came from different meters etc etc but given that his set up cost two and a half times more than mine I suspect I am getting more "Amps per Pound" than he is...

PS and I am not using any of that precious leccy on a sun seeking motor...
