Anyone order direct from China via Alibaba

Who did you use, what things do you need to watch out for etc? I am planning a 15,000 watt system and many of their offerings for panels only are 11.5k.

for grid tie make sure what you get is UL and CE listed, there may be more certs required by code and POCO. Be very cautious not to get what you pay for. buyer beware

If you are in the US make sure to look up the tariff it ranges from 30%-300%

That's a lot of cash ($0.77/w) for only the panels.

I paid $0.59 per watt at ACOsolar for tier 1 panels. The deals come and go. If you want to get a good deal you have to be on your toes and shop around.
