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

http://www.sidewinder.com.au

Their prices always seem to be pretty reasonable.

the prices seem ok but they are all folding panels, id prefer one thats one piece as im mounting it on a sliding hatch.

DId you ever see my big solar panel, good for a heap of amps and abotu that size. happy to part with it if your keen.

Anyone know how to test the actual output of a solar panel. its been knocked around a bit so would love to see what it can actually pump out now.
