spikeza Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 What is the general opinion on artsolar panels prices seen decent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeza Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Thanks for the reply if you dont mind me asking how long have you had the panels installed and any issues of yellowing of the panels and water ingress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobie Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Spike, where are you sourcing your panels from and what do they cost? I'm shopping around for 6 x 250w panels, and would appreciate your input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeza Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Direct from Artsolar looking at around R9.70/Wp excl. vat and delivery for individual panel but cheaper if you take a Pallet of 25. I haven't decided yet still doing some research, i see you looking for 6 if I decide to go for a pallet maybe i could sell you 6, Im looking around 12 for myself. Ill let you know. Im also looking the other equipment so watching your thread with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willem Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 What would the price be more or less when you purchase a pallet? I'm almost in the market for some panels, so I'm starting to look around for prices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeza Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 around R2600 for 255Wp and R3100 for 305Wp incl vat and delivery to JHB But if Mr Zuma open his mouth that could double overnite :-) prices seem very unstable some prices have increase between 10-20% since last year.

Willem Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hmm I'm down in capetown. Maybe I'll have to come and fetch them... Let me know if you need someone to help fill a pallet's worth of panels... I can ask my uncle to store it with him till I can come and fetch it... Or I'll have to look at a courier option...

Guest Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Mike, out of interest, what costs are we looking at for a 200w and 310w range panels? Need to match Tenesol panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willem Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 What brand panels would that be? Any guarantees on them and back up support if they fail? The 260 watt panels is a really good rate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willem Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 What do you guys think of these?? http://www.solarsolved.co.za/index.php/products/solar-panel/jinko-solar/jinko-panels-260watt-detail 260 watt jinko panels at R6.80 excl vat but without a Warrantee... for every 4 you buy you get one free at that price... could be your warrantee but in the meantime you also use them...

I supplemented an existing array of 5 x 250 Wp panels for a customer with 4 more of the 260 Wp Jinko panels at the same price just before Christmas. Short time, but seems to work just fine!

Willem Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The only issue for me would be to find someone to take 15 panels... then it could be a good deal... although I preferably have to wait for my wife to find a permanent work again before I fork out R20 000 on panels and R30 000 on an Imeon inverter... ai sooo tempted...

Dude... I have to paint my house. The best quote so far is 23k! Now to be fair, it's for 600 square meters of exterior wall, so that is to be expected... but still. No new toys until the second half of the year :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I am also done with expenses. Had to make room for the son ... R35k later. Had to sort a retainer wall, the original builder was an #($*% idiot. He used those cement blocks, single row, to keep the hill where it is supposed to stay. R48k later. I am now so moeg. Sommer want to switch off the inverter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
