Well for the first time Since I moved to Florida From MA in 1995 , I'm wishing I lived up there still for THIS deal.

It was a 100% functioning solar system , that just got taken down for no good reason .. I can't find the specs on the ARCO M53 , but based on the square footage , it look like a 3600 watt array and each panel would be about 40 watts

The Panels would be from th early to mid 1980's for a born on date , but this really shows that there really isn't any time limit to Si Panels.

If your in the area ( I know we have folks from NY and NJ on this forum) you could really snag a great deal on this system ...

Hope someone from here can snag the deal and let use know how it works out !

Henry

I think that more than fair ... the M53's are 35 watt panels it turns out so thats 3150 STC (15+ years ago) ... the Seller is a fool for not taking 6K IMHO , almost 2 bucks a watt

are the M53's the ones that had the concentrators?
the M52 gold ones had concentrators (later removed as they toasted the cells nicely) and the voltages dropped off so that had to go in packs of 4 to get over 12v and a pack of 4 (4ftx4ft) was 105watts at STC from my SunElCo catalog from 1992-93
