Mena, that's the same panel I have on my rig. I'm pleased with it so far. It operates at rated numbers and appears to be a good piece of work.

Thanks for that info. Good to know. Eventually I'll be getting some solar. Hopefully before the summer.

It's a good time to be a buyer of panels.:)

I think the MX-Solar 235w is a good panel, double formed aluminum frame and a high rated film and substrate. It operates better in low light than I had hoped. Have you looked at the newer higher watt panels? They may give you better harvest density if your roof will accommodate the size. For price, it will be hard to beat SB's $.67/watt.

An MX-solar spokesman said the company couldn't compete at the price levels of the Asian flooded market and post-flood, also. He said it cost them more to make the panel than they could sell it. Mine is labeled "Made in USA".
