I ordered 4 of (2-100w) packs of Eco-Worthy panels off Ebay during their 20% off Spring special on 3/9 and received them today (3/14). This is 800w worth of Bifacial panels with a total price after tax to me of ~$407 with Free shipping. This is the largest one time amount of panels I have bought shipped Fed X. I have not been pleased with FedX and their shipping in the past.
Previous panel buys from Eco-Worthy last year (200w mono panels) I ended up with several broken panels. I will say they were good about trying to make it right but after 3 separate shipping efforts, ending up with totally shattered panels, I gave up and they refunded the purchase price. It just was a huge bother to repeatedly send messages with photos of smashed panels. Plus I had to dispose of them since Eco-Worthy did not require me to ship back the broken ones. *
Well after receiving and opening the boxes I see no broken panels though I was a bit worried from some of the damage to the cardboard. I must say they did a good job of putting in a lot of things to protect them and with the 2 per box and smaller 100w size they managed to get past the Fed-X Baggage Smashers -Union members (Local 911).
Edit: Tested each panels voltage and they are all near rated Voc.
The Eco-Worthy 20% Spring discount on Ebay runs through 3/18 if anyone is interested. The panels measure 40 X 18 inch which comes to just about exactly 100w from sq meter calculation (.46sqm) with 22% efficiency.
* One of the smashed panels actually tested out to have some production and I put it into use after coating the surface to prevent water intrusion. I figure it became a 125w panel after the damage.
