as far as panels.... what would you hang on your house?

Personally, Ive never been that picky about panels. ITs more about price, availability, location/shipping. This guy has good deals:

Surplus Solar Current Live Inventory

docs.google.com

Here is another site I have seen good deals:

New Solar Panels - Clear Energy Partners

Note these things are not cheap to ship, so be sure to take that into account. If you have a CED around you, they have a renewable division so you could see what they have and presumably you could pick them up at your local branch.

thanks.

this gives me a good starting point.
i have a lot of reading to do.

Panels are almost commodities. Just get the best deal you can from a major mfctr.
They all last 20 years or more.

Look for black on black. You need to look at them for decades.
Panels are not the critical choice. Inverters and batteries are. These can fail, panels do not.

What makes you say that?

1. Many I know have moved away from using SolarEdge (SE).

2. SE stock has crashed.

3. I was BIG on SE......, but experienced so many issues.
Takes months to get parts sometimes.
I have 0 desire to use them again.
Their support was terrible.
Fairly universal experience.

4. Who knows though! I have never been good at predicting financial outcomes!

Don't really see Enphase stock doing much better than SolarEdge ...




Market demand drop due to high interest rates and NEM3 to some extent have crushed solar stocks recently ...

A question related to the OP, who makes a quality solar label pack? Something that will stand up to UV and weather, of sufficient thickness and letter size, with all the required 2020/2023 NEC labels?

Cheers, Wayne

Der racking is diggen by experten only. Is nicht fur geverken by das dummkopfen. Das rubbernecken sightseenen keepen das cotten picken hands in das pockets, so relaxen und watchen das blinkenlights.
