I would primarily shop by price, voltage, dimensions, and wattage depending on your individual needs and circumstances. Watch the shipping on large panels. Local pick up might be worth the effort. Last criteria would be what brand.
I also bought mi primary equipment at www.solarblvd.com Norco, CA
For some folks that do not have the room on the roof should shop dimension first. Get up on the roof and measure your avail area.
Truck Campers and smaller Mhomes etc do not have enough room for wide panels.
I would not consider a panel that has 17.0-17.1 Vmp for PWM controllers. ISC is important but you do need that voltage difference between the battery and panel VMP to produce the current especially when the panels are HOT.
Nor would I consider anything under 17.8 for Mppt.
I too really like Solarblvd.. Excellent service and price.
