Fritz Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Good day, I am in the market to buy solar panels. in the range of +-260W My local solar shop in centurion is running a special on a pallet of 26 x 260W panels @ R6.80 ex vat so R7.752 per watt 260 x R7.752 = R2015.52 per panel. At the moment i only need 9 panels. Is there anybody in the area Centurion/Pretoria that might want to take a share of the pallet? let me know then we can save money when buying together. or if some know any other specials at the moment please advice. flyer attached Jaco De Jongh 1 Quote
___ Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I've been in that shop! In December of last year. Right across from Scamberlains... :-) One of the guys there built this really neat power-trailer using Victron equipment, had a really lekker chat with them. Anyway, can't help you with the panels, just recognised the company. Quote
DeepBass9 Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Good price! I would take 3 if it can be after the end of next month (budget constraint until then) Can you find out the exact product spec, as I need to match these panels with my 300W panels in an array. Are the these panels? http://www.jasolar.com/uploads/JAP6(BK) 60 240-260 3BB (1).pdf Quote
Fritz Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 yip, those are the ones, we need more number to makes this work, let's see how it goes. more info attached. Quote
DeepBass9 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 OK, When are you planning to buy the pallet? Is there a cutoff date for the special? 9 + 3 = 12 so another 14 need to be spoken for.... Quote
Fritz Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 i will take 12 + 3 (DeepBass9) = 15 if we can get 11 more takers i will contact supplier for performa invoice to do a EFT. or if you guys want to handle in cash we have to make arrangements. Total cost = R6.80 x 260 x 26 x vat = R52 403,52 ps: not sure if there is a time limit on the special. i can still wait a couple of weeks before i "must" buy Quote
viper_za Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 20 minutes ago, Fritz said: i will take 12 + 3 (DeepBass9) = 15 just have a look DeepBass wants 300w and I think a palet comes in one size only (260w in the advert) Quote
Fritz Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 @DeepBass9 are you aware of the fact that they are 260W panels. You have to connect them in parallel to your 300W string. So hopefully your Vmp total matches. 3 of these 260w panels in series will operate optimal @ 30.63Vmp x 3 = Vmpt =91.89V I= 8.49A Quote
DeepBass9 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Yup, I will add 3 in a parallel string with the other panels. the specs are close enough. Energy-Jason 1 Quote
Jaco De Jongh Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 @Fritz. Where about are you. I will take 6, depending on where you stay. Energy-Jason 1 Quote
Fritz Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 @Jaco de Jongh, I stay in Amberfield , Centurion Quote
Jaco De Jongh Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 @Fritz, Thanks, then you can count me in. Energy-Jason 1 Quote
Energy-Jason Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Fantastic Guys, Makes me super proud. This is what this forum is for! Sharing resources and making solar affordable. Good luck with the buy. Well done. Sincerely Jason Chris Hobson and Fritz 2 Quote
Jaco De Jongh Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 @Fritz. A friend wants 2. So it seems like we only need a buyer for 3 .. Hope we can find someone soon, this is a good price. Edit: I will take a total of 9. need another one. (2 to go) Quote
KLEVA Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Am I too late to get in on this? I am looking for 3 or 6 if still available - Will still have to figure out how I get to Durban, but that's a different fight... Quote
KLEVA Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 From the response, maybe 2 pallets needed Quote
Jaco De Jongh Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 @KLEVA , I can drop one on my order to allow you to have 3. Will that help. the last one I added is for a loose standing 12 volt system, that I can still do without. If you are interested , I can do it that way. and that will close the deal for all involved. Quote
Fritz Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 Ok, 9fritz + 3deepbass9 + 9 jaco + 5 kleva = 26 i can drop 1 if you really want 6 @KLEVA Unfortunately i cant help you guys with delivery but i can keep it safe at my place for collection or we collect together at the shop. please drop me a mail so that we can arrange payment and what will work the best for everyone. [email protected] Quote
KLEVA Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Thanks guys, I am in (for 3 or 6 whichever works). I will make a plan with collection from where-ever. Been battling to get that voltage and wattage to match my existing, so just let me know via PM about money and where to collect. @Fritz - Will PM you email and contact info. Quote
Chris Hobson Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 That boys was superb. What this forum is all about. Energy-Jason 1 Quote
