The 80% is after 25 years. So, it degrades less than a percent per year. Right now, I am getting almost all the 170 watts.

There are solar energy calculators on the link in my first post, but there is one for Indiana here, for example: findsolar.com

Feraldo, if you live in Indiana and are this interested in alternative energy, then the highest impact thing you could do is to vote for Obama in your upcoming primary. ;)
