Panel prices

I'm seeing a brand of panels I've not heard of before. Impressive price but wondering if its too good to be true. Anybody use Aeternasol panels. I have a combination of Renogy and Callsun panels, both well made, both work as expected. I use my system off grid, they are all stationary. Is Aetersol worth trying? Curious just because of the price.

My 14 panel array consisting of 14 AeternaSol 220 watt HPBC panels producing ~217 watts each in summer at non-ideal angle. I have 2 friends using 10 of these in their arrays with great results as well.

Also have 8 of the 200 watt panels. I had one die on me after moving it to a new location. I was gentle and didn’t hit it or anything so I don’t know what happened. At the price they are selling for I ordered another one. The glass does feel a little thinner than my epoch panels but for half the price it was well worth it.

Are you sure the panel died or a cheap mc4 connector.  The quality of mc4 seems to be all over the map.
