Note that usually you mount many solar panels, not just one, so this will stack relatively quickly.
If you're building out, say 12kw of PV, that's about 24 panels for a modern install (500w bifacial n panels).
So a $336 premium, or roughly 1.3 additional panels in terms of cost.
While sure, that's not nothing, it's ~$6700 vs ~$7050, or a ~5% premium to the pre-tax cost of the panels.
Panels are much cheaper than that.
