Are Panasonic panels still good?

[muna]

It's my understanding that Panasonic panels used to be some of the best panels if not even the best. I just got a quote from a solar company that supposedly can install pretty much any panel brand but they don't have Panasonic on their list anymore. Supposedly the owner of the solar company said that a lot of other solar companies have a fire sale on Panasonic HIT panels because Panasonic these days concentrates more on batteries than panels. It this true and if so, is it a concern?

Btw, the company seems to prefer selling REC panels with Enphase IQ8A microconverters.
