The only other thing I would reiterate since we keep talking about the horizontal and vertical alignment of the panels is that this testing is on land where you can set and forget for an hour or two. You've already measured what small changes in alignment do to degrade output. On a boat out cruising there is wind and current and tide to deal with as well as wakes and these will ALL degrade the performance of the stik from what you measure on land given the same number of adjustments.

HS... I want to play around with some of your numbers some more but have guests and not enough time right now. Will catch up later! Thanks for all the detail & hope you can get a clear day for a final go before you need to return them.
