Listed on the far right of this table where the triple asterisk is indicated, is the rebate amount for each of the following solar panels configured into a 6.8 kilowatt 40 panel system using a grid intertie inverter with a 94% efficiency rating. Note Mitsubishi's higher CEC PTC Rating and note how much rebate money you gain when choosing Mitsubishi Electric solar panels !

** PTC stands for "PVUSA Test Conditions." PTC watt rating is based on 1000
Watt/m2 solar irrandiance, 20 degree Celsius ambient temperature, and
1 meter/second wind speed. The PTC watt rating is lower than the "Standard Test
Conditions" (STC), a watt-rating used by manufacturers.
The difference in PTC rated wattage may not seem like much, but add up the difference over 365 days per year for the next 25 years and the difference is obvious !
