Any Feedback on REC N-PEAK panels

[scrambler]

Having enough room on my south facing roof, I have been reviewing cheaper panel alternative to the premium type like Panasonic.
Among a number of these like LG, Silfab, Qcell and more, I came across REC N-PEAK (REC320NP) panels with what looks like a surprising Quality & Performance to price ratio.

https://www.recgroup.com/en/products/rec-n-peak-en

Here is what I gathered:

• Although the company was acquired by a Chinese group a few years back, it is a Norwegian company, headquartered in Norway and manufacturing in Singapore, both countries with high quality standards.
• They have a reputation for very high quality (even in rough climate like Australia), and high bankability.
• Recent innovation panels with split cell technology (and what they call PERT)
• They have the second highest warranty after Panasonic, with 20 years product warranty (eligible to 25 with certified installer), and a 25 years 86% production warranty (98% year one 0,5% /Y after that)
• They have very strong frame design with a 7000pa load
• All the top certifications, including the IEC 61701 level 6 for salt & mist exposure which is important for my site.
• Yet they are priced about $160 less per panel than the Panasonic ($190 versus $350) which is even cheaper than the SIlfab and QCell

Am I misreading anything, or has anyone knowledge about these panels that tempers what looks like one of the best quality & performance to Price ratio?

Thanks in advance for any feedback

I've handed these panels before. They are very well made and the innovative 120 or 144 1/2 cell design is interesting in that if you get shadowing on either half of the panel the unshaded half continues putting out power.

I know a few installers in Australia who prefer the REC, they do have a good reputation here, cheers
