I bought one of these to put on a garden shed. Quality appears equal to other more brand name panels that I've purchased in the past.
It's been too hot to do any roof work here in the Phoenix area, so the install will have to wait.

I traded in the problematic 2014 Lance for an 1150 Arctic Fox - wish EC made the 1150.
The rig looks similar to this - nothing exceeds factory weight limits.

Man, at only 0.65 cents per watt that’s a waaay killer deal

…FWIW, I can recall getting my two 100w panels in 2009 for about $5 per watt!!
At that price, be advised that if your thinking later about adding a second panel, beware that I just ran into a problem trying to match my existing 120w panel’s Vmp and Imp electrical specs (and physical size) with another although exact same advertised 120w panel - this, from the same manufacturer even though the one they still have advertised is electrically spec’d as the same exact 120w panel (and physical size) as is my existing panel - but it isn’t!!
Although the second panel they sent is still 120w, in a series config I now have to de-rate both panels since the Imp and Vmp specs are not equivalent…In my case, to compensate for this efficiency loss they sent me a third panel, ultimately at no cost to me (extra wattage additive in series..), so although this resulted in a net gain, I would have much preferred not having to de-rate the overall system…Just saying…In the end a net gain even though losing 26w off the top - Just a heads up
