Replacing 100w Solar Panel

Single panel on my camper, hooked to a Solar Boost 2000 controller.
The panel (unk make) died.
Northern Arizona Wind and Sun has a 140w Kyocera that is about the same footprint as the existing panel, at what seems to be a reasonable price. Shipping is $22.
I've heard good things about Kyocera..
Thoughts..?

Good panel. Arizona wind and sun is one of the most expensive places to do business with. You can do better. Shop around.

I am not an expert in solar by any means, but have been reading up planning to install a system on mine in the next year or two. I have been looking at different panels and the one you listed seems to be on the expensive side at over $2/watt. Seems like you can get a similar size panel in the $1.30 to $1.40/watt ballpark.

Now if you are getting superior performance for that additional price, I have no clue...

I bought a 125w Kyocera 10 years ago from the same company and it's still cranking out the amps. BTW, paid $565 for it. I'm sure they are quite a bit cheaper now.
