| Post subject: | Purchase of panels |
Someone stopped the other day and was looking at my panels. The cost of the panels were mentioned and they made the statement, " maybe one could purchase panels from outside the US and get them cheaper than buying them from with-in the US." My? is this, Is he correct? I never thought it possible, with shipping and all. What are some of our readers thoughts? |

That could be possible, but the panels have to be UL listed and most manufacturers require purchasing a full container. Also beware of a lot of internet SOLAR stores offering great deals. Usually their deals are not great(panels are too expensive) and they are usually 3rd or 4th party buyers. This may cause a warranty and a replacement issue if one of your panels malfunctions. Just curious to how much $Wp you are paying out where you are. Al |

I would be paying the going rate here in the USA. Around $ 4-5/watt. I understand your thoughts and you are correct in that one must look at the entire picture of purchase to get a good value. Thanks |

There is a dealer on the east coast(New Jersey) who offers Suntech 170 for just under $4Wp. They are a direct trading partner with Suntech. Al |

What is the dealer in New Jersey? We are getting a house with Siemens panels and these are pretty close. Thanks, Skip |

To me I think that it is too risky buying solar panels over the internet, internationally. There are a lot of scams out there and you can never be to careful. I'll take going into a store and leaving with what I want anytime over ordering online. |
