If you are in the market for 200w panels next 12hrs (10/10/22)

Have you considered recycling your urine? That's likely the next stage of rationing anyway.. ?
Don't laugh, California has been pushing "Toilet to the Tap" instead of desalination plants, capturing some of the 75% lost runoff and/or building more storage infrastructure to store the wasted/lost runoff.

If they were serious they could recycle grey water (shower/wash water) for toilets instead of drinking from the toilets.

There are some grass root efforts to use grey water for residential turf irrigation.

Just got in my panels. No problems readily apparent and my quick voltage check is reading better than panels ratings. Just cardboard packed and no cushioning so I feel lucky to have them come all the way from California without damage.

Rating for Voc is 21.60v but I get 24.17v for one and the other is 24.20v propped up in the midday sun at 50F outdoors. Won't be an issue for my intended use. Tested wattage on 10/18 and got 320w for both panels wired in series at full sun. ~80% rated
