where to get solar panels at a reasonable price?

Post by j-top paj »

anyone?

im looking for a panel thats within 1200x800 external dimensions to i can mount it properly.

the best i have found so far is jaycar 80W ( i would like bigger if possible )
and a few 100W on fleabay etc..
im leaning more toward the jaycar one incase of waranty etc.. but if there are any other shops/sites to check out??

I know that thread initially casts doubt on the site, but read on. It just appears to have launched a tad early. They have since been able to be contacted by phone, confirmed the brands are reasonable, and appear to be quite legit.

Check out sidewinder

Their prices always seem to be pretty reasonable.
