SunPower e19-320 vs e20-327

[ScottR]

I recently received a quote for a system that includes SunPower E19-320 panels. I'm familiar with the E20-327 panels, these are a bit higher rated and appear to be newer. Are the E19-320 discontinued? The installer had mention getting a "deal" on the E19-320's. Does anyone have any experience with the E19-320's?

Thanks!

They're still being shown on a data sheet from 05/15/2015, but I wonder if you're being quoted sloppy seconds, or old merchandise. As long as the equipment can be dead nuts verified as new, unused, and not second quality for its rating, and the price is REAL right, I'd be tempted to look a bit further and make ABSOLUTELY certain the equipment was new and not in any way defective, an MAYBE take a shot. But I'd spend a lot of time in verification.

BTW, I'd also check into any warranty changes that may be invoked by the seller before signing anything., and get everything in detail and get all of everything in writing. The old - if a deal seems too good to be true. it probably is (too good) - applies here.

Add: See a thread started by poster Icebox started on 11/12 on a similar sounding S.P. deal. Coincidence ? Maybe some confusion on model #'s ?
