I have a spare 40 amp MPPT and some extra roof space so the siren song of more wattage is calling me (will it ever end?). I'm thinking two more 100+ watt panels would be max.I have seen some nice prices per watt but they are usually tied to high shipping costs. Does anyone know of dealers that have package deals or specials with included shipping?I have dealt with Renogy before and I'm pleased with their performance but even with include shipping I can't see them being the cheapest.Solar Blvd and Windy Nation are some that I looked at but never see included shipping.ThanksRon W.

Find windy nations Ebay store free shipping and a set of MC4 connectors. Also Eco-worthy has 2 poly panels at 252. Free shipping at there Ebay store.

Go directly to Windy Nation web site as last time I checked there panel where cheaper then there ebay sales. Still no shipping charges.

"Free shipping" is NOT free.Total delivered cost is what counts. For me, the best deal was Solar Blvd.Doug

Great reason for a road trip and pick them up in person.

100-150 watt panels, without exorbitant shipping.

I agree. I thought he was going to tell us where we could get them, not ask us where he could get them.

Amazon has pretty good prices, free shipping, not sure how they compare but I definitely trust them standing by the product.

Thanks for the feedback, I put a couple of bids in for some panels on EBay maybe I'll get lucky.

Thanks

Well near as I can tell Both Solar Blvd and Windy Nation are about the same.

Solar Blvd: 2 100 watt panels $240, shipping $18, total 258.
Windy Nation: 2 100 watt panels $259., shipping $0, total 259.

Solar Blvd comes with MC4 connectors and the y connectors. Windy Nation has MC4 connectors but y connectors are extra. Solar Blvd has the better deal if you plan on using the y connectors and shipping to your location isn't much more then $20.00

Certainly not head slapping, earth shacking price differences between the two.

I bought my last 150W 12V solar panel from Solartec USA. They are local to me in Northridge CA. I don't know what they are currently stocking or current prices, but if you are in the Los Angeles area ever, in the San Fernando Valley, they might be worth checking out.

(818) 787-6527

I'd be inclined to call them for your needs, their website didn't list close to what they really had in the warehouse, you have to ask, via a phone call, or an email to see what is currently in stock.
