Here's one of the quotes but they're almost all around 25k. At this point I'm not excited about the megarevo inverter bc of all the problems I've read about. I would probably just pay for the 18kpv from signature. The cheapest quote for a 550w BF from jinko was $68.50. The cheapest r10klna was...

My understanding is their warehouse is in the US somewhere. Selling limited quantities of various panels. Not that they're importing. Edit: well maybe they are importing them themselves, but the purpose of my question was to gain knowledge from someone that has imported direct from china...

Hey, thanks for that. Super helpful. Exactly what I was looking for. Just kidding. As i said, someone that has actual experience buying DIRECT from CHINA, recently preferably. lol

Has anyone here PERSONALLY, successfully imported solar panels from China? Or PERSONALLY failed at it? I have several quotes for DDP shipping with panels, batteries, inverters for $5-7k. That's for the shipping only. Supposedly no other taxes, fees, duties to pay, shipped to my door. I have...

which post? I see the OP and another guy bought from inxeption.

I guess i should have been more specific. looking to import panels from china, to the US. thx.

Update: Joyce from ecoreesun has panels in California for $95 each. $0.23/w plus shipping. 415w BF from exiom Inxeption has 370w single face panels for $0.17/w with shipping right now. I'm pretty new to all this but I was looking for bifacial because there is the potential for significantly...

I got a 16ch emporia hooked up. Excited to see my actual consumption after a month

Hey guys, I have been collecting info here and other places on solar components and sizing and i have an idea based on my consumption what i think is appropriate. Just want to hear from people here. My consumption is pretty high even though imo we are pretty conservative with the thermostats...

Yes, you should be able to see at the bottom, the total price for inverters, batteries, panels with ddp shipping =$25k. I have multiple quotes, all around that price.

ok. so i could keep it under 10kw and stay connected. July-sept we use 2800-3000kwh/mo, so those months i would only make about half the power i would need, but that is definitely a good option. If i set up the bifacial panels optimally, i could potentially get 11-12kw actual output. would...

Tracking takes up too much room! They block each other when you start moving them around. I think i'm just going to have to fix them in place. Also, i think it makes sense for me to set my panels at the summer angle (13.8 degrees) since i use more power in summer (Electric AC, Gas heat...for...

thought this was funny. I was talking to Dawnice guy about the bus bars being welding straight to the batteries and tried to explain why i prefer studs. I think he has no clue and is desperately trying to sell it to me anyway. lol

Such cool tech! I love it. I'm excited to get my hands on it. I've tried to read up on the mppt's but I couldn't find a good explanation. And I had no idea there were bypass diodes in the panels themselves. Has anyone tried to mount bifacials on the roof with a standoff bracket? If I could...

ok. thank you guys for that info. it was very helpful. I have a couple more questions. Mounting: Just wanting confirmation of my reasoning and anything i mightve missed: 1. Roof: 45degree slope, SE facing with a relatively complex roof surface. i can fit about 30 panels on the best parts...

Good to know that that is an option but I think, as long as there are no issues I would just get another 18kpv. As I convert my gas powered heat and appliances to electric and buy electric vehicles (I have 4 adults and 4 kids in the house so potentiality 8 drivers eventually. Although the kids...

I also like this config. Pretty simple. I thought i had the perfect spot to put my panels but i forgot that there is a power pole right in the middle of it! So it would be casting a shadow and i cant put panels under any type of power lines to my knowledge. Even though wire isnt "cheap"...

Maybe i found something finally to answer this question: "...distributed generation equipment must meet current UL1741 and IEEE1547 requirements." I see the EG4 18kpv meets both of these.

I believe i read that they didnt want panels under the wires in case their wires dropped to the ground, onto the panels. yes, the trees are gone. I had the panels divided into 12s and 13s in order to comply with the limits of the 18kpv. Also wanted to separate the 3 small arrays because i...

Good point. He also sent this pic. I don't see a qr code. At what point are the codes added? I'll confront the guy about the used cells, but I already know the response. Edit: his response, "we can only sell new cells, it's dangerous to sell used". I'll either buy from luyuan or ss. Thanks.

Hey guys, Wondering if anyone has any experience with these panels. There is a guy on here that posted about the 550w version, he seems to like them. 370W GSP6G60M (H) Also, i'm not familiar with the advantage of the number busbars (this panel has 9) or the Half-cut cells. I'll try to read...

When do you expect to receive your batteries? Are you going to test capacity? Let me know please.

Is your friend on the forum? I'd like to hear his story first hand.

Hey guys, I have searched around a little bit and I can't find a straight answer on this. I'm talking to Amy wan with luyuan and she is wanting to sell me a 304Ah kit with seplos bms for $2400 shipped. I looked at the battery compatibility list for the 18kpv and didn't see seplos on there. Thanks

Anyone have any experience with Dawnice in China? "Paul" is offering a 15kwh battery with ddp to Georgia for $2400 total. 100A max discharge 10y warranty which really means nothing if no one vouches

getting set up in my town is either going to be super easy or a complete disaster. There are only 3 lines of instruction for distributed generation in the "contractors manual".

Yeah but I've heard there were imposters of Jenny wu, thought probably Amy wan too.

Yes, cut the cord. They absolutely will not allow me to be connected if i have more than 10kw of panels. I told them I could set it to zero export(?), he just just shook his head. After I get it all up and running I might add a couple stand alone panels and inverter just for the pool. It's...

I wasn't planning on using optimizers(?) since i thought i didn't have any shading issues. if i were to put panels in the shade of the pole, wouldn't the whole string suffer? Or would the effect be negligible? Since open circuit voltage per 400w panel is 35-38vdc (based on the temp coefficient...
