Im looking for any feedback on these panels ... positive or negative ..

I usually refer to Photon Labs outdoor test results, but Stion doesn't show up there. Too new?

Stion is a start up from 2011 with recovery money, making thin film panels (prefer multi-crystaline myself) that at last report seems to be struggling to avoid bankruptcy. Doesn't bode well if there's a warranty issue later.

120 W panels? Twice the roof space of crystaline.

But, only $0.60/Watt.

Have you done the math on how the BOS is impacted by their small size? I suspect that the quarter per watt you are saving with them will be immediately eaten up by additional costs in racking and roof mounts, and certainly your time.

Send me a PM if you'd like some help getting pricing from a distributor. We can get CS6P-245P-Black Frame for 83 cents a watt/$203.68 which I think will provide much more value with a better warranty from Canadian Solar, etc.
 
I buy my panels from renvu.com. Best prices and fast shipping. $200 for a 255W late model panel. I'd avoid eBay. Mostly junk or old stocks.
