Local seller with Boviet 305W panels. Are these OK?

Dude is selling them for $150 per.
Seems to be this one:

Seems like it might be an older model, maybe around 2017. Seller says they are "overstock". New model may be 260W.

If it's a discontinued model, are they still worth it? I haven't found much just googling them.

I have the room on the roof of our kind of large camper box for a few large panels like these.

15.72% peak efficiency is decent for $.50/ watt, 12-volt panels often cost three times that.
Most panels are designed to resist high winds, hail and fire, so putting them on a vehicle is not too taxing. Higher voltage panels need a MPPT or a buck converter, but that is pretty efficient and means you gather useable power for more of the day. The price means that you can get a good controller with what you didn't spend on RV-panels. Boviet is a Vietnamese company that makes a lot of panels, the 90% power output warranty is twice as long as most, so likely a pretty good product.
