I got lucky and found them on E-Bay last year. The 12v ones are becoming pretty rare and the smaller 68W ones even harder to come by.
There are many fine choices that have higher output per square foot then the Unisolar panels, however the "peel and stick" panels offer no-hole flat mounting on my Gelcoat roof and are only ~7lbs each plus I think offer superior low light and off axis output. The one major deal breaker down side is I'd really really really HATE trying to remove them from my NL roof!
I wish I had purchased three when I got the two. I have room for one more up there. Coupled with a MPPT charge controller its amazing how much output I get out of these.
