RX'd 975 watts solar panels today. Paid $1/watt including shipping for these. Fingerprints in corners from handling before encapsulating resin was fully dry, seems to be the blemish. These are new high efficiency SUN product. I will use a PWM controller, orienting panels 30 degrees each side of 180 (south.) Distribution will limit time controller works to protect batteries from intense midday charging. As well, the panels will not get as hot.

New from China? These panels are SUN product with no labels. They sure look hot to me! (A salvaged panel is on the left.) I got along okay with 700 watts. I plan on using additional power for occasional vacuuming, and to circulate glycol mixes for heating and refrigeration.
