Pros
  • About 69 cents per watt, with 495 W from a single panel for a home roof or ground-mount array
  • Frameless front edge lets rain and snow slide off instead of leaving a dirt line along the bottom
  • 12-year product warranty, longer than most panels at this price
  • UL 61730 listed, which permit offices and utilities typically require for home installs
Cons
  • No published voltage or current figures, so sizing a string or charge controller means asking the seller
  • At 77 x 45 in and 58 lb it is the largest and heaviest panel here, a two-person lift that needs long rails
  • Sold only on Amazon with no maker site or datasheet, and no independent output test yet
