February 8, 20197 yr Hi there. I am looking for a reputable dealer in Pretoria that sells 330w Canadian solar panels. I want to purchase one panel a month to grow my system. I saw a lot of Facebook warriors that advertise Canadian solar panels for R1850 but as soon as you make contact the hide like cockroaches from the light.
February 8, 20197 yr @Krokkedil, This is what I last year and I intend to do again for a few years to come. I am getting a pallet of panels a year, and I am purchasing them on Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

Friends of mine wanted to get a smart TV, a big one, no rush, so they started around for prices over 3-4 months, they knew what they wanted. The knew Black Friday was coming. Yet slowly they saw the price increasing, they thought that was normal. Black Friday hits, and guess what(!?) ... price back to the same as 3-4 back. That price continued after Black Friday for a couple of months. Bottom line, know your prices before Black Friday, that is where the real big bargains lie. Like solar panels, I would guess, to move stock before Dec holidays.

Their 60 cell 280W is in stock though at R1,432.90 Incl. VAT (R1,246.00 excl. VAT) Which is actually a better per watt price.

Back in the days when I started looking they where R32.50 - R35.00 per watt. 3-4 years later my first panels, going rates where between R12.50 - R17.50 per watt depending where you shop, got mine R 10.00 per watt - Grade B (or some such. Some scuff marks on frame with fully rated power) ... now that was a BARGAIN! 2nd batch a year later for R8.50 per watt. Those where the good old days. 😋 Sold them all recently for R2.00 per watt.

Hi there. if i purchase the 280w panels will that not reduce my string rating to 280W. I have 2 330w canadian solar panels and want to add another. I want to build strings with 3 panels. Please send the details of the shop.
