Looking for Black friday solar sale.

I've been searching the web for a black friday deal on solar panels, but so far haven't found anything. . I remember in prior years some members posted up some good deals here. I'm looking for a couple 180 - 200 watt panels, and an mppt controller.

If anyone sees a great deal, will you please let the rest of us know? THanks! Joel

  • I’ve been using a Renogy pwm battery controller for several years. No problems. It doesn’t like being connected to the solar panel while not connected to the battery - it rings a continuous alarm. So I put a switch on the cable from the solar panel and switch it off before disconnecting the batteries for winter.

    It’s sure nice to have a battery monitor always displaying the per cent of full charge.
  • Does anyone have any experience with the Renology Controllers? I was reading on their web page and they look pretty interesting......
  • on off the shelf sale install on an RV ??

  • You can get 30% back on your income tax for a solar tax credit.
  • Well, I pulled the trigger on some stuff. Ebay sent me a 10% ebay bucks promotion, that prompted me to search there. I found there is some black friday pricing from renogy there. I got a renogy rover 40 amp mppt controller for 129, and a bluetooth attachment, for 38 so I can mount the controller in the basement, and a pair of 200w panels for 370. Plus a fuse and some cables and parallel connectors. Free shipping, no one charged me tax, and I'll get 10% back. I'm satisfied with that. Thanks for all the suggestions!

    I saw a 240 watt panel on that site, a dozen in stock, decent price.
  • Thanks for the link, Tuna. Cheap prices on panels there, but it says everything is out of stock. I wonder if that's for real or if its a mistake. Also, shipping is kind of spendy. I'll phone them tommorrow.
