I have 22 BP/Solarex 77 watt laminates , got from SunElectric last fall

If you look at http://www.solar-guppy.com/P1010123.JPG

you can see them mounted , running my pool pump

If your asking due to SunElec current auctions on eBay , those ARE NOT LAMINATES !!!! , they are regular solar panels that REQUIRE frames for supports !!! (they are Astropower stock sold off , work in progress that wasn't finished)

The AstroPowers on eBay at 2.50 watt are pricey , no warrenty , need frames and no way to know if the panels even work ...

My BP/Solarex are about twice as thick as the regular panels and are on some type of resin finish/coating , not the glass/telvar regular panels have

Thanks for the reply about the laminates.
I was asking because of the Ebay sale.
It sounds like buyer beware! Why does a reputable company try to sell something that is not good?
Makes me question anything that this company is trying to sell.

right now there is no place to buy panels , laminate or framed

There is a severe world wide shortage and prices are rapidly increasing. I'm seeing a return to 4.00 watt on most panels ...
