Check Dave's "Solarcell Technical Information." But before you
run to have a look, that page:

http://www.solarbotics.com/solcell.html

Did contain a serious error, last time I saw it. The table looks
fine, but in all graphs I checked, the line/bar indicating the
performance of the 24x33mm solar panel is designated "24x22mm" and
vice versa. This makes the 24x22 look absurdly good, and does the
24x33 no justice at all...

Best,

Steve
