Hi Kleva I came right with getting 10 but thanks a lot for remembering me

Hi, Fritz has the contact, but will see when we get closer to the mark (and if they still have stock by then).

hi Guys, all the info is on the flyer if you want to run with it. I did not have any special contacts but maybe after this

process i do .  Monique at the shop was very helpful with my order. 

@KLEVA , if you really need help because of location/logistics problems i can try and help. 

I also dont know till when the special is on.

  

So Fritz, is the first pallet fully paid for, or just spoken for currently?

For the second pallet it is just me and Kleva currently, i.e 3 + 6? 

@DeepBass9, payed for taking delivery today/tomorrow. 

 

@DeepBass9 & @KLEVA, I am still planning to take 1 more. Not the quantities you might be looking for, I don't spend a lot of time on the Forum lately, but please keep me in mind when you get closer to finalizing another pallet. Please PM me when you are ready to buy, as i might not see the progress.

i also need 1 more  

OK, so we are at 11 of 26

DB9 - 3

Kleva - 6

Jaco - 1

Fritz -1

Who's going to take the last 15? A 3.9kW array for R30k is a bargain.........

Could you post a pick of the connectors for these panels, are they those click together solar ones, or something different?

normal MC4 solar connectors , so yes they click together

Pm, silver.

Right if you still need to make up nr 2 I'm in for 3 x 260w 

OK, so we are at 14 of 26

DB9 - 3

Kleva - 6

Jaco - 1

Fritz -1

PaulF007 - 3

If SARS pays out my tax refund, I'll take 6 panels, any contacts?

 

12 Left - 3.12kW  for R24k....

Man this would be even better if it was a month ago! 

For my part I don't mind either way, but some people already have bought 260W panels. So lets start the list again with the 305W and see who's in, or is we should stick with the 260W:

 

 

Stick with the 260Ws as some have already purchased. That is fair.

Sincerely

Jay

I have a question. 

Why don't we all use large wattage panels. Mounting costs are less and the volts are higher.

Asked the questions once to a solar company. The guy once reconed that they use 250w panels for it makes the maths are easier ... I laughed and laughed.

So I am wonder, should I have gone 260w / 250w panels or was the call to go 300w+ panels better?

What do you guys recon?

nooo noooo! I didnt know guys have already purchased!

Going to cause sadness. Im pulling it :>

Jay

Nooooo - I am asking a question, why are there so many different wattage panels out there? Nothing meant, implied or inferred. Just a simple question.

Let me rephrase, is it better to go 250w or 315w panels?

If so, why?

Ps. IF I wanted to buy now, and I am very tempted, I would buy 315w panels, min 305w. Why? Higher voltages for MPPT's and less mounting structure.

I'm with TTT on this. 

Perhaps members have appetite for >305W panels as a groupbuy from GCS?

Would GCS extend the current palet price to the bigger panels?.

Damn, I'm tempted for 15 panels. 260W panels would be like coming 4th in the Olympics!

I would prefer the 305W as they are closer to my 300W array, but 260W is also OK. Both prices are excellent as a group buy, much cheaper than normal retail prices.

The 260w just makes the math a lot easier for us Axpert manne....

So I suppose it comes down to the controler you have

If it was me, I would go with Energy, he has them available.

Mmmm, yes, this make sense, kinda, if you have a controller already.

Bought the panels years ago, the bigger the better I reasoned till it came to controllers. What a mission it was to make them fit. Today it is not an issue anymore but I have to go 150v controllers = more expensive. 

Flip side to that, now I can add more strings of 3 x 300+w panels = less mounting. Flip side, I am so never going to be able to even try a Axpert. 

 

If a connection of a connection comes through, and the sums add up and there are no pitfalls, and the cost are possible, I would like to see if the micro inverters (done legally) can do the job for me, panel for panel, using 300+w panels. So @Energy, maybe we talk about this special of yours, them 315w ones.

Reasoning behind micro inverters (if they do work as advertised) is that after a lot of thought re. powering the house as a lot of you do, pumps, geyser, vacuum cleaner, oven, and all that ... I do not want one or more large inverters powering the house.

I want something that you can add on with milk money (x2), feeds into DB board and be done, one panel at a time. And if one micro inverter fails, gmpf, so what, get another one, milk money, and move on. So I REALLY hope it is going to work as advertised.

So what is the tally on those panels? Are we there yet?
