Do you have any experience with aliexpress panels? I assume importing from china would be a logistical nightmare. Broken panels, Customs duties, etc.
I haven't purchased solar panels from AliExpress, but all my other orders from them have arrived safely, usually within 20-30 days. One advantage of AliExpress is their guarantee: if you read the details, they typically ensure that your shipment will arrive undamaged, or you'll get your money back. This means there's virtually no risk to you, aside from the potential loss of time if the shipment doesn't meet these commitments.
I've tried GreenTech. 500 is about as big as they carry.
Well then, it looks like a no-risk 700W panel from AliExpress might be your only option, but it's gonna cost you potentially more than buying two 500W panels locally. I would make sure that shipping is refundable also if the panel gets broken in transit.

From what I've gathered, they wouldn't be damaged until they get into the hands of FedEx or UPS or whatever random USA based freight company gets them. Maybe if you could pick them up at the dock.
At 98 x 54 cm and 3000 watts, that panel is 567% efficient when given 1000 W/m^2 irradiance.
