US prices look so much better :(
Identical panel (by specs) we have locally is this 160w job:
http://www.wegosolar.com/products.php?product=HES%252d160%252d36PV-Solar-Panel-160-Watt
Price $169 US vs $294 Can breaks down this way converting at 75C/$
In Can$ 169= 225 approx.---so wegosolar is charging the extra $70Can it costs them to get it here plus whatever. Then you have shipping on top of that unless you can pick one up locally (which you can in a few places as explained on their site--but the US one is free shipping so that's a big benefit.
I like that panel for the price here but already have enough solar.
Hmmm I have three 100s but my 20 amp MPPT will only do 260w so mid-day I am over-panelled.(controller allows that) Soooo---I should sell two 100s and buy that 160! Yes! Arghhh--not again--I have played this game too often--must lie down till the feeling goes away
