Buy a premium product that will produce as much energy as possible. Modern panels can produce well over 300 watts, and when adding as many as most people need, you will want a higher watt panel.

1st look at warranty and manufacturer
2nd look at power output
3rd look at materials

I've maintained a 20 year old 50 panel array of high quality panels and removed and replaced 10 year old junk panels that people get for a good deal. The only good deal you will find is a quantity discount on quality panels. These are not that.
Purchased these last year. Ordered 10 and received multiple different panel types even though I ordered the same model.

Although minor, they didn't put any protective packaging around the panels, so each and every panel had minor dents/ bends on the frame. They did replace the one panel that arrived totally shattered without too much hassle.

As long as you don't care about aesthetic, and the price is right , the panels did work.
I think their question was directed at why someone would choose to buy the 4-Count 100W panels vs buying four of the 100W panels separately.

The individual panels are $43.99 each after coupon and the 4-count comes out to $49.99 each after coupon. It would be almost $25 cheaper to buy four individual panels vs the 4-count bundle.

Sometimes you need more voltage so adding up 4 individual panels in series would allow for this.

Single higher wattage panels tend to be larger as well so if mobility is your goal then having individual panels may suit you better.

If it's stationary and there's a lot of shading, having individual panels wired in parallel will help with that.

There's a reason why these are cheaper than other panels I got some delivered on the last deal and they were clearly used trying to send them back and get my money back is almost impossible I wouldn't buy these if I were you but if you think saving 10-20 bucks is worth it taking a gambleton be my guest but it's a lot of work to mount these on your roof than have to take them down in a few years instead of just paying an extra few bucks and getting good ones

Any experience w panel tracking systems? I'm near Houston (~30 deg. latitude) What would you recommend. I've no experience w solar power, but can do calculations. I'm inclined to avoid storage, and thinking of a real time use/introductory project would be big enough to power a 2400 watt a/c (230 v). That's a lot of panels to track. I might be able to have only some of them track, the rest fixed. The tracking panels should handle non-peak cooling load (9-11 am and 4-7pm summertime). The fixed panels would augment during peak cooling load hours (11-7). Night cooling isn't needed as the 20x20' building would be a backyard workshop.

You get to use the 20% code on all 4. I believe it is one time use code.

The output wattage is actually decent with these panels.
Bought 4X195w ones and sometimes I'm getting over 200 watts.
Can't beat the price of this deal.
Had one delivered shattered but replacement came pretty quickly, no hassle.
Would recommend if you are looking for a budget yet decent panel.

You can change the quantity to four on the single panel item and use the code on all four.

There might be some use case for something like this like putting them on a shed or something to charge a few batteries. But yeah i would avoid cheap crap like this.

I've yet to find a justification for a tracker. They do increase output, however, the cost most of the time outweighs the increased production. Last time I priced one it was a passive mechanical unit that was nearly the same price as 20 additional panels.

Best solution, bifacial panels, array above the ground enough to catch light below, and line the ground with light colored gravel. Less moving parts, ground mount, get too many panels.
