On module IV curves, 100 w/m2 is the lowest insolation level usually
listed. It would also depend on the charge controller or inverter being
used. I've seen arrays make power at below 100 w/ m2 if there is enough
array to overcome the operating losses of the electronics.

Thank you Kelly.
Not that I don't believe you, but can you provide any data to back
this up?
I should have asked for that upfront.

Wrenches,
I was asked... What is the minimum Lux level required to make usable
electricity with a commonly installed monocrystaline PV module.
The question is for the purpose of designing a tracker that will not
operate until a particular threshold is reached.
Thanks,
