re Reputable suppliers of solar panels.

Dave Thomas
I'm interested in an off grid / supplementary solar panel system for my own use. I'm part p but only part time and semi retired- there's absolutely no value in me doing all the courses to become a renewables installer.

But trying to find panels online to buy is a minefield: I get loads of companies trying to sell me complete packages , and I get all sorts "shops" selling panels with so many different names and claimed outputs ,  I really don't know where to start. These things are obviously imported, mainly from the far east and I know quality can vary enormously, so I need a reputable supplier who will sell me them with some sort guarantee.There must be plenty, but how to sort the wheat from the chaff, as it were?

    UK suppliers for off grid are easy to find on the web, Bimble Solar (UK based), Renogy (Chinese but have a UK arm), Photonic Universe (also UK based importer). Or if you just want the panels, eBay second hand house units go for 25 to 50 quid. The Renogy MPPT charge controller works well and is cheap new.
