Solar panel sale

Boy all of these panels sure are heavy it seems.

Yes, they are getting heavier. When I bought my 245W REC, I thought 39 lb was heavy. Seems that there is nothing under 43 lb now, unless it's smaller than 150W.

Btw, I don't think that this is something to hurry up for. In this store they have "sale" almost non-stop. $161 for 230W is the cheapest of their big panels, but I would rather buy something known, like Trina or Solarworld. The difference of $50 or 70 is nothing when spread over 15-20 years.

Joe - no, "common" controller can only handle 12V nominal panels. With 24V nominal panels you would need MPPT controller.
