I love the Renogy 100watt panels, so many more options for fitting them on the roof.

The larger 24 volt panels while giving more amps etc., make it difficult to find the real estate .

My 2 cents.

Hi,

These folks seem to offer not bad pricing.

The 100watt ones are great for folks that have a narrow/long area on their roof. 22"w X 47"L.

The VMP (voltage) is great for MPPT too, 18.8vdc.

Guess that this kit still is best buy... 21"X47"... 18.8vmp...2 panels and controller... Just add the wires and Z brackets and some extra hardware, fuses and for under $400 you have 200 watts.

If I was to be interested in getting solar this would be the kit to get... Those narrow panels are going to be hard to find in a couple of years.

A lot has to do with the Chinese manufactures pushing the prices down on 24v panels to gain a grip on the market at first, and now trying to dump surpluses and stay in business.

It's not like there is no demand for 12v panels or so many companies wouldn't be offering them.

Why do the small panels cost so much more than the large ones, in $ per W? Robots build these things, so it's not likely labor cost... maybe no demand for small panels? All the fixed installs going on calling for the largest output per panel possible?
