Solar panel recommendation


I'm looking to buy a 140w folding panel. They're really exe in local camping shops and I wonder if anyone can recommend a good supplier on the internet? 

Mytopia store on eBay have a good deal going, but I can't find any reviews. 

Thanks,

MJ

I've bought my solar panels on Ebay. I'm happy with them. It isn't easy to find reviews other than the feedback for the sellers.

Aldi have a 120w for sale on the 20th of this month... about $250..

Regarding the internet Try LowEnergyDevelopment  Folding Panels

They are fairly well priced as I have had to deal with them for component's for my solar system..

I can back up SnowT on Low Energy Developments, I have bought a lot of panels off them over the years and have sought their advice on many occasions and they have always been very good..

Thanks for the replies. I ended up calling low energy developments and asking questions. Long story short, I just saved $50 by ordering a folding panel over the phone rather than using the internet.
I'm happy about that

PS. It was $245 for a 120w panel plus $15 postage. They don't sell 140w.

Sounds like a good price MJ.

Power to the people. Well MJ anyway.

I am a bit late but I have what is normally a fixed 120w panel that I use as a portable to follow the sun around during the day. I have a prop that I adjust to different heights as well so I get the angle right also.

 Purchased 160W folding panel on Ebay from Mytopia on Sunday night, it arrived yesterday all as described.  Tested it wired up to neighbours van and batteries this afternoon and it was clearly pumping out the power. His mega had it reading 20v at the panels which he said was pretty good. Happy so far.
