160W/12V solar, $169, Poly, free shipping

Nice find.

US prices look so much better :(

Identical panel (by specs) we have locally is this 160w job:

http://www.wegosolar.com/products.php?product=HES%252d160%252d36PV-Solar-Panel-160-Watt

Price $169 US vs $294 Can breaks down this way converting at 75C/$

In Can$ 169= 225 approx.---so wegosolar is charging the extra $70Can it costs them to get it here plus whatever. Then you have shipping on top of that unless you can pick one up locally (which you can in a few places as explained on their site--but the US one is free shipping so that's a big benefit.

I like that panel for the price here but already have enough solar.

Hmmm I have three 100s but my 20 amp MPPT will only do 260w so mid-day I am over-panelled.(controller allows that) Soooo---I should sell two 100s and buy that 160! Yes! Arghhh--not again--I have played this game too often--must lie down till the feeling goes away
:(

Great price for a delivered panel. Narrow enough to fit along the sides of the roof.

Very glad to see a reply from Mex! :) Keep her going somehow. Yipes!

The Canadian Peso is weak because your bankers came from the same double-digit IQ stock as my bank (Wells Fargo). Wealth insanity. Your banks invested in crude oil futures just as fracking construction was going bezerk in the USA. Rule: politicians are failed lawyers and bankers are neurotic about fondling other people's money (One for you and two for me). These solar panels seem to be a good bet. I am going to take a harder look. My access here is a freak. 23 hours of the day I get a 404 trying to access Google.mex

I do not feel like a criminal avoiding import taxes. These guys make more money than I do. And be it Ottawa, DC, or DF. They take in a million and return fifty thousand.

You need a friend in the state of Washingmachine BFL. Entering at Blaine a Canadian Customs man ignored the wheelchair plates on my pickup and set of crutches and honest-to-god asked me "Are you entering Canada to work? How many illegal firearms do you have?" I wished one of the crutches was disguised 12-gauge.

I will throw myself on the mercy of a 6th grade educated Mexican Customs inspector and tell the truth...the panel is to recharge a BiPAP battery when power goes bye-bye. Ever see a man go through Customs with a BiPAP mask strapped on and machine plugged into the cigarette lighter...?
