Even with the shipping added in which at least my case to IL is almost the price of the lot of panels after the %10 off from the site you are looking around $57 per panel which at even a 20% loss puts it right at the range of this panel. Shipping gets cheaper the closer you get to AZ and they even offer local pickup if your not far from the warehouse.
Also The Mitsu is a more expensive panel in general which is why I used it for reference, for the brand recognition, if I used the more obscure panel brands those costs go down even more and in some cases drastically.
Your also guaranteed minimum 80% within spec, that does not mean they dont come in some cases almost brand new, but because of a broken backing or a blemish it was returned.
So thanks for playing but
In short my comments are to let people know there are many options for cheaper, if its something they are looking into long term, or to play with.

No idea where to start, you have any resources for something like this. If I can do it for like under $5k, it seems worth it. Assuming I'd hire an electrician to do some of the final work, but I could certainly install the panels and wire them together myself, after that, I'm not sure.

Price is really dependent on if you plan to use batteries or not, but I bet for 5k you could get everything you need for one EV.
My goal is to have something that can power my chest freezer and fridge through the night (which the ac180 does easily) and recharge from propane inverter Gen or ideally, solar during the day.
The Last couple bad hurricanes, we were without power anywhere from 4 to 7 days and trying to run the propane inverter Gen at night wasn't ideal and I don't like being sleep/trying to sleep, while it's running.
That said, I did watch some Video reviews/comparisons of the eco worthy panels and general consensus seems to be, that they don't produce as much wattage as many other brands for the same size and that even between panels they can vary a significant amount. Other brands that seem to perform better and more consistently, are generally 1.5-2x more than op's price for the eco worthy 200w.
I'm not trying to do a big setup or anything (at least for now 😬) so this should work for what I'm after and at a price point that doesn't bother me if it doesn't prove to be as efficient as the more expensive brands. Tyvm 🙂👍
I plan on building a little compound on some large acreage in the next few years and it will be immensely cheaper for me to go with these type of panels and build out over time, instead of buying new all at one time. So this is stuff I looked into for my own use, but figured others would benefit from it too cause most dont know things like these are available, and the savings that can be had.
