Darling solar panels are wonderful if you have sufficient to power your requirements. Darling Jacko could never survive without my gorgeous shiny solar panels. Darling Jacko lovingly washes and caresses the panels once a month. Darling there is not a square centimetre of roof available for more panels. Darling Jacko used Solarland 140W and 85W panels from Sealite. http://www.greensystems.com.au/products/product.php?prod_code=STP140-12

Darling if you talk to the lovely man Jordon a 140W panel is under $500

Interesting.

Website price for a STP140-12 140 Watt, 12 Volt Solar Module (your link) is $886 but "the lovely man Jordan" will give it to us for $500.

Guess we will have to mention your name.

Darling bought some panels as a gift and spoke to the darling man Jordon. Darling Jordon arranged the price and freight delivery for Jacko. Jacko has bought panels there for Jacko's motorhome, shed and as gifts for others over quite a number of years. Darling never struck the darling Jordon previously. Darling Jordon was the person that answered the phone and attended to Jacko in an exempalory way.

It's amazing the difference in prices for the same panels at different vendors too.

we got our panels from eBay because $$ is a great factor with us... hubbys put 2 200w on the roof and we have a 160 folding to carry inside the bus... altho we are not going till next year he has had the greatest fun playing with the solar.... he is currently using it for the computers in the house via extension cord... he's also repenished all car batteries... had it going inside his shed.... like I said he is having heaps of fun playing with it... he even sat in the bus in the rain on a cloudy day watching them recharge batteries....... I've sat in amusement watching him.... like a kid in a candy store!

I know..... we need a life!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hi,
Solar panels usally come with two warranties.

The first, a power output warranty (usually 20 or 25 years) guarantees that after a set length of time the solar panels will still produce a certain amount of power.

The second (which is not highlighted as much as it does not matter as much on houses) is the physical warranty, or how long they will warrant the panels if they fall apart. I have seen this vary from 3 months to 10 years.

Amorphous panels (the thin flexible ones) tend to be a bit more robust, however you get alot less power for the size of the panel.

If you are installing solar panels on the roof of your vehicle they will obviously experience much greater physical conditions than those carried inside or on a house roof. It is therefore a good idea to find out the physical warranty on the panels.

Personally I recommend BP solar or Kyocera in vehicle installations. I have been running two BP solar panels on my bonnet for 7 years and have not had a problem with them.

Cheers,
Nichol

Oops,

That reply was meant for another post, however it kind of holds true here. If you are after a permanently installed panel then the physical construction of the panel is more important. If you are after a panel for portable use then something easy to move and not to expensive as it is more likely to get damaged from being blown over or run into etc.

We sell two different types of panels depending on what the installation requirements are.

Cheers,
Nichol
