New offering from Eco-Worthy. N-Type (better shade / cloud production) and bifacial. Essentially an N-Type upgrade (with bifacial) to their historically popular 195W 18V Monocrystalline Solar Panel which means it should outperform in cloudy or shady conditions or in bifacial application, but should perform similar otherwise in ideal (Sunny 16) conditions to the older cheaper panels of same size.
Note: Mono PERC; should offer mature yields (better consistency of production between panels, think "copy variance") compared to the 200W HPBC panels Eco-Worthy also sells, but lesser heat resistance and lower module efficiency compared to HPBC, especially if the application can't do bifacial. But if you can do bifacial? These are arguably better than HPBC. If you can't? I'd consider the HPBC panels also on sale. On paper, these rival much more expensive Renogy ShadowFlux but at a much better $/w.

Here's good video of sticking panels to rvroof so you don't need to use screws and have water leaks

The Eco-Worthy offerings satisfy needs where space is at a premium, think RVs, or the ground mount on my side yard where I can't fit a Phono Draco, Boviet Solar from Signature (which I highly recommend both). The Eco-Worthys, fill in the dead spots where a larger panel won't fit, at close to 50c/w, that's more than most panels, but a lot less than say a Renogy.
I have to agree with SeriousCaption that Signature Solar is my first choice for panels. The trouble is, they're out of "the good stuff" ie Canadian Solar, Aptos, Phono Draco, and I heard they're getting out of stocking Canadian, so good chance come new years options will still be limited. They got some older Boviet Solar's left, and Hyperions, but none of the newer offerings. That's where Eco Worthy panels start to make sense in a series or parallel configuration, or RVs to your point.
I've got a bunch of the newer HPBC panels on the way and will report back because so long as they behave close to spec, they're actually better module efficiency than bigger panels, if you can't get bifacial. Matters when you're chasing that last watt and are space limited. These are along the same lines; chasing the last watt and space is limited, except bifacial for this panel.
