If you pay USA $0.70 per watt then pay 300% customs duties
Your paying $2.80 per watt, plus all the transportation costs and trouble
So $2.69 per watt plus shipping $59 + $22 = $81 per panel, doesn't look so.Bad
How does the $81 per panel total cost, compare to gasoline , plus time , plus hassle ,plus tolls , just the tolls covers the shipping of two panels
3000 mile round trip, 100 gal fuel * $3.77 gallon, plus motels , meals etc
You just paid shipping for 4 more panels
My rough calculations say you can cover shipping costs of 6 panels for the cost of the USA trip
And if your going to pay the custom duties, the U.S.A. trip is a bust cost wise
Plus with the added strain all this puts on your health
I think I would buy the Mexico panels
Now Get to the hospital and take it easy
