January 9, 201610 yr Author 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?
January 10, 201610 yr 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
January 10, 201610 yr Author 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.
January 11, 201610 yr 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...
January 11, 201610 yr Author 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.
January 11, 201610 yr 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...
January 11, 201610 yr K & H freight. Much cheaper than courier and you pick up at depot in airport industria. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
January 11, 201610 yr for you CT guys, i will get new pricing tomorrow "hopefully" and can offer you at cost plus VAT I can get Yingli, Renasolr,Canadian, Jinko. Once off only - try to do one order for all
January 11, 201610 yr Mike, out of interest, what costs are we looking at for a 200w and 310w range panels? Need to match Tenesol panels.

January 12, 201610 yr i can get 260w panels at R8,80 per watt excl and 305w pv's for R9.70 per watt excl
January 13, 201610 yr 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!
January 13, 201610 yr 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! (He accepts the risk of no warranty).
January 13, 201610 yr 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 :-)
January 13, 201610 yr 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.
