I created it after buying a bunch of solar qx5252f ic's, which turned up 3 months late, so I built a diy one until they did.

even though I built it years ago, I never did end up comparing which was more efficient

It's always a good idea to compare the efficiency of different devices or systems to see which one performs better. In the case of solar panels, efficiency refers to how well a panel is able to convert sunlight into electricity. A more efficient panel will be able to generate more electricity for a given size or surface area, which can be especially important if you have limited space for solar panels.

There are a few different ways you can compare the efficiency of different solar panels. One way is to look at the panel's efficiency rating, which is expressed as a percentage. This rating indicates the percentage of sunlight that the panel is able to convert into electricity. For example, a panel with an efficiency rating of 20% means that it is able to convert 20% of the sunlight it receives into electricity.

Another way to compare solar panel efficiency is to look at the panel's power output. This is usually expressed in watts, and it indicates how much electricity the panel is able to generate under standard test conditions. For example, a panel with a power output of 300 watts is able to generate 300 watts of electricity under standard test conditions.

It's also important to consider other factors that can affect a panel's performance, such as the angle at which it is installed, the amount of sunlight it receives, and the quality of the panel itself. By taking all of these factors into account, you can get a better sense of which panel is more efficient and better suited for your needs.
