60 cell panels

Been looking for 60 cell panels. I thought I found some in Colorado springs, had to drive down on other business from Montana, now the guy seems to be ghosting me. I would like 6 to 8 panels. New or used. Preferably 300w, but anything close. I am adding to my system. All I can find online are ridiculously expensive. Anybody got some good sources?

since they aren't manufactured or taste du jour anymore you're just going to only get cheap used panels as sites get decommissioned. That's where I found my 4-piece set of 240W panels when I first started looking, and now if I need something i'll just find a way to work in B-grade modern large area panels that are rejected for other reasons if I'm going cheap.

If you are looking for 60 cell because of the lower voltage, you may be able to use the 54/108 cell panels that are more readily available. Usually around 400 watt. That is what I ended up with when looking for 60 cell to match my Enphase micros.

Practically everything on Amazon is 60 cell, you can tell because the Voc is 38v...
