So I bought panels months ago. My inverter's solar voltage range was very narrow(VMPP 30-32V), so I needed these specific panels. My inverter and installation was sufficient for a standby SSEG, but installer's didn't want to do the CoCT application.
Now since 1 October, the regulations have changed and only on-grid applications are allowed.

So what do I do with these panels I can't use? How good are they as dining room tables?
 
How many? Mount some panels on your Hilux and also install the inverter in there, same thing, now it's just mobile, the CoCT won't be able to touch you.

You can give them to me, and I will bear the burden of figuring out what to do with them.
 
Putting panels in series gets them to any voltage you like if you have enough of them

ie 5-6 panels will still meet a 120v mppt startup if you get an inverter with a 90v mppt startup 4-5 will be fine

Naturally if needing to buy more maybe sticking to an obscure voltage /config not a good idea ie struggling to find matching rating panels
