72 cell panels CSun vs Renesola

[Dsspro]

Okay I've spoken with poco, electrical inpspector and city... thumbs up for verbal approvals and starting the applications in the morning.

I know a lot of you guys don't like 72 cell panels but the weight doesn't scare me for carrying or mounting and the height fits my roof perfectly.

Csun 310
Renesola 310

I can buy both panels for a few cents different, any reason to swing one way or another? The CSun comes with Unirack from Renvu and will let me upgrade to the heavier stuff. I do like the fact I can buy 99% of what I need from one vendor also.

Also do you guys wait for Poco engineer sign offs before ordering gear?

Thanks guys!

IMO it isn't really the weight it's the dimensions.
Having done 60-cell panels I didn't find them really heavy - just very bulky. Being 20% heavier but same dimensions wouldn't have made that much difference in handling them IMO. But 20% longer would be a little more awkward. (20% wider would have been really annoying I think)

As for wait or not -
Order before official sign-off and you run the risk that you aren't able to install and you have to return parts.
Order after official sign-off and you run the risk that you miss out on a good deal or have to get re-reviewed because your parts have changed slightly.
Pick your poison IMO.
