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?

    Now then I do hope you're not casting dispersions towards the Travelling Community? :)


    On a related note, I see that various online sellers in the UK are selling new panels in the 305W (£77) to 475W (£140) range. Given old 250W panels are liable to be a bit knackered and old and still running at £50 or £60, I reckon a new panel is actually better value as you only need one not two for the same output, pretty much. Just saying :)
