Solar Panel

So I'm looking to add solar and it seems that many folks have mentioned AM Solar in Oregon as a honest dealer. The have a 150 watt panel with these specs

Pmax = 150 watts @ maximum power
Vmpp = 18.5 volts @ maximum power point
Impp = 8.11 amps @ maximum power point
Voc = 22.2 volts @ open circuit
Isc = 8.88 amps @ short circuit
Length = 58" (1474mm)
Width = 26" (660mm)
Depth = 1.574" (40mm)
Weight = 26.4 lbs. (12 kg)
Note: Length is 61.375" with mounts installed

On the other hand Wholesale Solar has an ET Solar model with 300 watts with these specs

Model - P672300WB module 300-watt Module
Watts - 300
Amps - 8.8
Volts - 36.68
Dimensions (inches)- 77.01×39.06×1.57
Weight (lbs) - 50.92
More info @ http://www.wholesalesolar.com/pdf.fo...-P672XXXWB.pdf

Here is the thing I don’t understand, they are priced at about $300, which means twice the watts with the ET panel. Seems like ½ price is good? What am I missing.

Ps – I have room for 2 of the larger panels but am planning to start with 300 watts, I have 300 ah of batteries. Will probably use the Morningstar 60 controller.

Thanks
