Oops, Wc may be the French term ("Watt Crête"), which can be translated by "Peak Watt" but I don't know if this is the English term. This is the output of the panel at normalized conditions: iirc 20°C and 1000W/m², imho the alignment is certainly normalized too but I can't remember about this detail.
