I agree. There is one Group X panel. The 72 cell mono. 24v nominal, 62.2" x 31.8" with varying frame thickness. I use them for all grid interactive and off grid systems. They are more ergonomic and higher voltage helps as well.
Conergy, Mage, suntech, astroenrgy, sharp, and many other make or made this panel.
