https://www.ebay.com/itm/XXX/124431577755 This is the cheapest I've seen it Keep in mind that every time they have a sale, which has been happening every couple of weeks or so, the price keeps going lower and lower than previous sales. It doesn't seem like the solar business is doing too good

Santansolar is having a sale on some of their panels. The sale says buy one get one half off on all used panels, but the code only works on some of their panels. It might be a glitch. But it stacks on top of sale panels. There are a few panels between $26 to $30, around 250W each. That comes out...

MPPT: max 15A 600V Panels: used panels (let's say degraded to 200W) Open circuit voltage (VOC): 48.7 V Max power voltage (VMP): 41.0 V Short circuit current (ISC): 5.99 A Max power current: 5.61 A Let's say I have 8 panels in series right now. I want to add more arrays in parallel. Can I...

What happens if I don't ground the solar panels? Just realistically speaking. I'm in an area that rarely if ever gets lightning. I'm putting the system together little by little. Haven't set up the inverter yet

Has anyone tried these mounts? They're about $12.65 per bracket. You need roughly 2 per panel, and it doesn't include the rail system so you have to get a separate rail system. Maybe Will can do a video? I'm willing to be a 'Guinea Pig'...

Hi everyone. I'm a beginner needing help. Setting up a DC system seems pretty straightforward, but I can't figure out how to wire an enphase system. It's not very DIY friendly to wire it Seems like it has a proprietary wiring system. Where can I get the cables? Is there a cheap way to wire...

Hi everyone. I'm new. This forum is a great resource. Can you please help me with the wiring? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Equipment : IP6048 inverter, 2 MPPT, 125-550V, max 6500W 2 strings of panels in series (no battery for now, maybe down the line) This is my plan step by...

What's the easiest way for a total beginner to mount panels on the roof? Will doesn't really have any information on DIY racking or installation and I think many beginners can benefit from a discussion. For my specific situation, I have a flat untiled section and a tilted tile section. I also...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/325962859986? This place seems to be a solar company. They also sell used panels Makes me wonder, if you can get top of the line high power bifacial panels for $0.27/watt, why are we buying used panels from Santansolar for $0.10-0.25/watt? Much better to go new at...

I've watched most of Will's videos multiple times. He makes it seem so easy. In all of his videos, he's running the PV cable directly from the panels to the inverter, without any conduit, just bare PV cable, over his dirt backyard, over concrete, inside, outside, in his shop, RV, everywhere...

I've seen Will Prowse do this. He used a NEMA connection to connect his inverter to his electric panel. He wired the end of a NEMA plug into the inverter and then just plugged it in I like this idea because it will give me flexibility to move my inverter to different subpanels based on how I...

I have some experience with solaredge, enphase and tesla systems in the past. I don't really see any major enough differences between them, so for my latest system a chose to go with the cheapest, which was Hoymiles grid tied in my case. I want to be prepared when the terrorists attack the...

Anyone know what's the best way to mount panels on the side of a house over a balcony? It will not only be a balcony cover, but will produce electricity. The panels are fairly heavy at 56lbs. Could be something that mounts them on a wall but out about 6 inches to cover the roof, or could be some...

Before you grill me, this is a temporary set up because I'm missing a couple of parts. I have some ground mount panels in a series. One of them has shade at the bottom of the panel for about a third to half of the day. Please see the picture depicting the shade. Is it better to leave that...

I've narrowed it down to these 2 panels. Similar priced around $0.20/watt for used panels from Santansolar. I'm assuming 10% degradation for both. The volts will work for my application both ways. (Bluepower ip 6048 aka MPP LVX6048 WP, 1-2 strings, shading issues in morning ) Sunpower 230w at...
