[Grammar] Is "considered" a linking verb? Considered + adj or considerably + adj?

[pance29]

I'm confused by these two sentences. I don't know if they're both grammatically correct.


1. They have produced a new solar panel that is considerably more innovative than any other of its kind.


2. They have produced a new solar panel that is considered more innovative than any other of its kind.

They're both almost grammatically correct, but their meanings are different. "Considerably more innovative" means much more innovative. "Considered more innovative" means thought to be more innovative; that is, many people believe so.

Write they have.

pance,

"We recommend posting a question on one forum only initially. If you do not get a satisfactory answer from that forum and you feel that you have exhausted its possibilities, then of course trying a different forum might help. It is only courteous however, to tell the second forum that you have already asked the question on another forum and then give a precis of the answers you received there, or provide a link to it, along with an explanation of why you are now looking elsewhere."

I don't know that I would consider solar panels to be innovative. Maybe state of the art or up to date or made with the latest and best technology.
