I've been looking at those K60 panels for a while now and they seem pretty good.
I'm wondering why they are such a deal.?. Maybe I should buy one and check it out.. See how it looks on my roof?
Lower production and material costs AFAIK. Considering the cheapest similar product was ~$3.25 according to the article you linked, those are some cheap panels.

The lowest thin film module price is at $3.27 per watt (€2.35 per watt) from a Germany based retailer. As a general rule, it is typical to expect thin film modules to be at a price discount to crystalline silicon (for like module powers). This thin film price is represented by a 60 watt module.
