Interesting about that guy from Canada who found a dealer in Toronto on one of the "for sale" sites that has close to American prices.
Same thing around here. You can pay twice as much at a "regular" solar place, or find one of those guys who has some sort of funny arrangement out of his garage or something. Couple of examples still going here.
Last year I found a guy on the Island here who had great prices, but he has shut down due to some financial thing with his Chinese source. He used to be able to order the panels etc and then pay for them after he sold them and keep the profits.
Last year China banking changed the rules on his parent company in China, and now he has to pay for everything up front and what he buys is his. (This may have been a scheme previously approved by the Chinese govt to destroy the "West" but it fell through, who knows?)
Then he can sell it and make some money. In his case he was caught short by the change of rules and could not buy more after he sold his last batch. (no "deep pockets")
Some of those guys on the "for sale" sites here seem to be buying $15 solar controllers on eBay and offering them for $40. I guess they are hoping the people who look at the "for sale" sites locally, don't also watch EBay! :)
It is all "buyer beware" in the solar racket. :)
