Anything I should be aware of in the experience of those who have used them (apart from weight and wind on installation).
I think they are the highest power ones currently available although the 630W ones in that series will follow at some point. All modern large panels are much the same in terms of fitting. They will take clamps on both short and long sides which is important if you needed to fit in landscape format.

But they are large and heavy, certainly not a one man job.
