While researching solar options for my camper I've spent some time on Ebay finding different sellers of the various parts. I'm coming across a fair bit of Chinese solar panels that are of course priced a fair bit lower than other options. Some of the prices have me considering rolling the dice on these panels.
Would anyone have any insight into the quality concerns or longevity of the panels originating from that part of the world?
If this is a worry only because you expect Chinese- made panels to be inferior in quality, forget it. Panels are panels. If they work they work--and will keep working. AND a lot of brands use Chinese -made panels!
Just get a good deal on $/watt where you shop, and never mind about quality. It is not an issue.
Also note the so-called 25 yr warranty might not apply to "mobile platforms" anyway, just to stick houses.
Also if you are 74, the 25 year warranty might be a tad optimistic as a concern! :)
