Cons
Reject marks and in the reject marks are cell defects. Could not credit card from which purchase was made due to transaction originated from amazon, strange. They have a passed qc sticker on them, and obviously the most basic qc test wasn't done.
These panels are being advertised dishonestly. They are not 12 volt, although they have 12v listed 4-5 times on the product listing. The wires on the back of this solar panel are small gauge wires and do not have the adaptors on them.
Changing the dimensions and keeping the same part number is not helpful to me.

Have some supposed 320w ones from same company that never get much over 250w no matter what.

When we got them out of the boxes and up on the roof we discovered the panel size had changed since our august order

The new panels were ordered using the same link on amazon but were shorter and a bit wider than those shipped to us last august see attached picture

This was extremely frustrating as the rails were set to the length of the earlier panels and had to be moved to accommodate these new panels

So if you are adding these to earlier installed panels be aware of this change is size of the panels sold on amazon

If you order again from your earlier order you will not be getting the same panel size
