My replacement panels are used 295w panels from santan solar. They were about $80 each shipped. They are slightly taller and appear to be putting out the same or equal power the the Samsung's
The replacement panels are 72 cell and run at higher voltage. My guess is the cheap higher voltage less efficient panels are overall more efficient with the micro inverter compared to running 60 cell Samsungs.
The cheap used panels appear to be out preforming the Samsungs.
Also I went with extreme weather utility grade panels with 4mm glass. They weigh 10lb each more than the Samsungs.
