Solar panel video

The newest version are called 200 watt + because they are bi facial and will pick up 127 watts if the rear is pointed at the sun. I have been suggesting the Victron 50 amp Smart solar controller because it will be rarely over paneled and saves $200 over the 60 amp version.

The defective panels were part of a bad run where a insulation failed. It caused the panels to lose a string of cells. In this camp alone the seller will replace 9 panels even though 6 are okay. They are a made in the USA product and the manufacture stepped up. The 3 bad ones would have to be run in series to be of any use.

what's the makers name?

and i have to research everything and found a walkthrough of their manufacturing plant,a little look into how panels are made

This place on Ebay is just over an hour from me & if you go there you can buy much cheaper but near South Bend is a place selling more brands, I'm looking at 4 325watt for 34cents a watt picked up. I have both phone #s somewhere if anyone needs them.

Shipping or freight can do huge damage to solar panels especially medium to big panels. I’ve had them arrive heavily damaged. They replaced them but it was a time consuming hassle. Had to email them pictures then they said they would replace all three but then shipped two. I’d rather pick them up in person and hopefully get a better price.
