Buying Solar Panels

If your not going to have them installed before going to Quartzsites, AZ. there will be several dealers at the Big Tent and in town that you'll be able to get all the info you need. If you never been to Quartzsites, AZ. the Big Tent is on Hwy. #95 just south of town (as your driving toward Yuma, AZ.) you can't miss it!

I have 3 Kyocera 135 watt panels I paid $290ea. I just bought a Windy Nation 100 watt panel for $130. I have a Morningstar 45 amp PWM controller. Payed $165 for controller.

How much have you paid for solar panels, and how many have you installed, and the wattage

check out Amazon....we bought ours thru Amazon. Once we did a search there, they kept notifying us of sales. Eventually, we found some for a little more than half the original prices quoted. Also, if you're a PRIME member, shipping was free. And we LOVE the panels. :)

Have bought our panels there also. Good pricing and good selection.

Home Power Magazine has many advertisers. One is SunELec.com

You can find a $15 20 amp 12 volt PWM solar controller here. AliExpress.com and search for 20A PWM solar controller. Then search for "Lowest price" in the upper section above the first post.

My suggestion is to spend more on solar panels, less on the lower cost PWM controller, and you will have a system that will recharge your battery by noon. Some might recommend a $169 MPPT solar controller. Sure it might put out about 10% more power each day than a PWM solar controller. however you can also buy a 100 watt solar panel for that same amount of money, and add to your total wattage in to the battery for less money.

Try ebay, search on "solar Panels"

I almost fell off my chair when I saw Home Depot, look at warranty on guaranteed output after 10,15 or 20 years. This will help you determine quality of what you choose.

careful on the shipping costs

In Florida?

good price--but shipping?

Right down the street from you! This guy is in Ventura. Windy Nation

I bought a what would be called a beginners setup from Simi RV. It consisted of a 100 watt panel, 40' of wiring/connectors and a controller capable of handling three 100 watt panels. When I got home, I checked the brand of the panel and saw that it was made by Windy Nation. I called them and they said they would sell me the panels for $100.00 a piece. I bought a second 100 watt panel that comes with quick connect ends. I also bought a better quality Zantrex controller from him for $40.00.

I believe he was right off of California street, up against the RR tracks. It was a small warehouse and was hard to find. He only takes cash. You can buy a whole system from him fro a pretty good price. He has hundreds of panels in his warehouse.
