Must take all

Wow, I don't know if I could fit that many in my yard even if I stood them straight up shading each other like dominoes.
 
Do any of you guys have that beat on your installations? That's 375,000 watts of solar. 🤯
 
The narrow width is nicer to work with than the 44" stuff. At $66 a piece a company could buy and resell no problem. Good deal!

So I’m more curious at how this ended up on CL.

Did a solar installed go belly up and this is a liquidator?

A solar farm ordered too much?

I’d want to inspect some of those panels for damage, you’d have to expect a certain number of units are SOL.
 
How do they get the containers off the truck? I presume that's what they're talking about. The truck driver can't just dump the container off the trailer can he?
 
Sure. Though it does depend on the truck. I’ve had them delivered and moved with a flat tilt bed truck.

A proper roll off trailer does amazing things. It’d be covered by the shipper.
 
Shows you what I know!

Buy it. C'mon you know you want to. And who doesn't have a cool $70k lying around!
 
Don't forget at least another $140,000 for approved racking.
$140K for 962 panels is $145 per panel, which seems high. An Ironridge roof setup would run about $60-70 per panel and there are plenty of cheaper ways to mount panels.

The power warranty is among the worst I've seen, 80% in 25 years, despite the datasheet saying "industry leading 25-year warranty".

A local "damaged goods liquidator" is all time coming up with thousands of panels. Always new and often around 40 cents a watt. Not the best deal but then you aren't paying truck shipping for 2 modules either. You all probably have one around you.

This is the sort of place that buys out bankrupt warehouses site unseen and ends up with you name it. I'm sure there's a dozen other way they get inventory. Appliances, lumber, paper towels, lumber, mini-bikes, it's totally random.

I've chatted with this guy several times and you can tell he's SUPER protective of his sources, not that I was even asking for them, just trying to get a rough idea.

I was being snarky when I said $140,000. If you're putting them on your Walmart distribution center warehouse sized roof, then don't forget the possibly required rapid disconnect hardware / microinverters.

I figured ground mounts, which if even using those Powerfield plastic tubs full of rocks would be around $60-70 per panel.

I wonder how much insurance would be required to get approval to install a 375,000 watt solar system. :fp2
 
snag the container and start selling them on FB marketplace. at $0.3 per watt, you're making $48k+ in profit. it's a helluva opportunity for someone.
