Hi,

Information here--not a recommendation just letting folks know.

Seriously? Normally $250, on sale for $60? You know what they say: "If it sounds too good to be true...". Looks like one of the ads off Facebook, total scam.

My scam detector is screaming at me.

There doesn't seem to be much on an internet search of this company.

Internet search indicates a good probability of scam.

Just google them, there is no evidence of any reputable company by that name at all, that I can find anyway. SCAM.

I'd only pay by a major credit card, don't ever pay people like this by paypal or zelle or ways of that type.

I'll just about wager they're going to get your credit card info and go to town with it.

If I decided to take a chance with these people, I'd ONLY use a credit card that lets me create a one time use only virtual card number that can only be used ONE TIME ONLY.

Proceed with caution, if at all. In fact, I'd not proceed at all.

Deal is "too good to be true".

I wonder how many people they have scammed in the 6 weeks that their website has been active.

I'd be careful with these - 12 hr cancellation window after placing an order, buyer pays for the return shipping costs, original shipping costs not refunded on a return, shipping via Air or Sea, web site hosted in Germany, 35 day max return window from date of purchase, 7-10 days to process order, shipping could be "delayed" for 20 days, etc, etc.

Web site scam detector validator rates the site as a 48.6 out of 100, which is a moderate score and rates them with a warning of "Doubtful, Perilous. Alert." Web site/domain was created in Nov 2022, rated as a poor design, with fairly high rating for Threat Profile, Phishing Score, Malware Score.

If anyone tries it (with caution) please let us know. Seems like a scam to me.

An alternative for getting "cheap solar panels" is to buy quality USED solar panels. Just test them before you buy (voltage and current) and you should be good to go. On my RVs, I installed multiple 250w used panels that I got for $35 each and they are producing great. No moving parts on solar panels, so they should last for years and years. If you worry about max efficiency issues with these used panels, buy one extra and put it up and you'll have more solar than you originally intended (...assuming you have the space).

Good luck!

Thanks, piano, for pointing this out -- yes, it might be a scam, but it is worth looking into. As my kids used to say when they were teenagers, "Good lookin' out, dawg!" (I'm not sure where they got that phrase, but it sometimes comes in handy.)

And how about this 1800 watt power pack with 100 watts of solar for only $89:

I once read that Michigan is the 47th in the 48 Continnetnal States of available Sunshine. So how long does it take to pay for a Solar set up here in Michigan? Is there any info posted on all areas on of how long it takes for Solar Panels pay for themselves?
