Yeah, buy a full carton/case and sell the stuff you don’t need to others or just keep them on the shelf for a future project. Nothing at all wrong with grade B panels.
I would not buy grade C panels unless I got to sort through them and test them personally.

Your $/watt goes up a lot on five panels when you consider a $250-300 shipping cost on top of the per unit cost. sunelec.com usually has good prices on 230 to 300W size panels. Less costly for off-grid applications, some with cosmetic "grade B" imperfections. On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 11:51 AM, Chuck McCown via Af <[email protected]> wrote: I kinda am/was. Mostly I just shop around online like everyone else. You normally have to take a truckload to get a good deal. I like to pay 60 cents per watt. 70 cents can be found frequently if you buy in quantity. You are looking for about 5 panels. You will probably have to pay 80 cents. -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Richardson via Af Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2014 12:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] Chuck: $/watt for solar panels Check, Aren't you a solar panel dealer now? Pricing out a 1200w panel system, not sure what would be considered a good price.
