- About 80 cents per watt for two panels, so 400 W costs less than two separate 200 W panels from Renogy
- Two in series (about 55 V open-circuit) suit portable power stations with 60 V solar inputs
- Bifacial glass back adds output when mounted over a light-colored roof, gravel or snow
- 10-year product warranty and IP68 junction box
- Each panel’s 27 V open-circuit voltage is awkward for 12 V PWM controllers; use MPPT
- Bifacial gain is close to nothing when mounted flat on a dark RV roof
- No independent output test yet
