Thanks dnix.  As it happens my application is off-grid.  I have an Outback MX-60 for a charge controller and 960 watts (nameplate) already.  I'm thinking getting another 800 watts now.  I think the MX-60 should handle it all OK.  With my current array I've seen a maximum hourly current of 26.5 A.  I'll need another couple of breakers for my combiner box to handle it though.

It's off that these aren't UL listed.  Do you suppose they simply wanted to avoid the cost of testing?  Do the panels you bought have a tempered glass top cover?  I guess I'll have to ask them some questions...

Yes, the glass is tempered, unlike HF panels. You don't need a UL list unless you grid tie and these are not made for that. It keeps the cost down, which attracts business.
