Facebook Marketplace. I just picked up a new Ne Solar 370w panel on there for $120.

I've Used A1 Solar Store. They're basically a clearing house that works with local distribution centers. They are associated with distro centers all over the USA.
I bought four Trina 360W through them, then drove 40 miles to pick them up from a massive third-party truck depot. They do not ship to customers.
The experience seemed on the surface to be "sketchy", but I got my panels, and they are brand new and in excellent shape.

I picked up six used 370W solar panels for $900 off of Marketplace not too long ago and they had many more.
They likely would've individually sold them too if I had only needed one.
I had to drive over an hour though.
Still worth it.

I have the same problem.
Rich Solar has $75 dollar 100w panels on eBay I have been purchasing.
There are some $50 options on amazon, but I’ve had such a positive experience with the Rich Solar panels I keep buying them.

I would be shocked if you couldn't find lots of options on your local Craigslist / marketplace.

I did look there, and I’m in South Florida so you would think they would be everywhere, but I was only seeing used panels. Maybe I should look harder.

The problem I have with Craigslist and Facebook marketplace is out of 100 listed only two replay and only one out of 10 that reply are legitimate sellers… wish this was not the case makes the entire process useless ..

You could always buy a pallet of new and resell what you don't need if there is a market for them in your area and you have space for them.

That’s a very interesting idea.

You know I’m thinking about that … Cocoa Beach Area … good center Florida location for it.

Or we could split a pallet. Maybe other FL residents would be interested as well.
I have 2 100w JJn panels from Amazon. The first was $89 the second might've been $65.I have the same problem.

Same. worth checking their ebay store once in a while. Picked up 2 panels from their North NJ warehouse a month or so ago.

here in Utah www.watts247.com 70 miles south of Salt Lake City has many new and used panels and if you are local, self pick up saves a bunch of shipping costs

So I did end up getting 2 used 370w panels from CRT as suggested here. Super easy transaction and they were only a 20 minute ride from my house.
They did list the dimensions and weight, but those numbers in my head and then in reality are two wildly different things. Only panels I've ever used are small 100w panels.
Trouble now is I have no idea how I'm going to secure these things.
I had imagined making something simple out of wood that would basically lean them against the back of my house, but the more I look at the space and the panels the more unsure I am.
Anyways, can't be beat for $70 each. Thanks!

Story of my life with anything I have ever bought that I haven't seen in person first.
It either ends up being way bigger than I thought or way smaller than I thought, nothing is ever exactly what I pictured in my head when I see the dimensions listed out.
And that's a great deal on those
Thankfully 50lbs is light to pretty easily pick up And carry around, but 77" is TALL.
Now I understand what all the YouTubers I've watched install solar panels are talking about.
I also understand why most companies don't wanna ship a few loose panels.
I'm trying to talking my buddy into buying 20-30 of these to do a system at his house (he has a separate massive barn he uses as a shop for cars/boats/motorcycles that he just had a new roof put on) and they would be much more stable strapped down on a pallet.

I went to my local Greentech Renewables, talked to them, and bought some panels.
Do not try and buy via their website though, as I understand it, it is not set up to help DiYers, but the store itself in person they are normally helpful.
Your mileage may vary, but it is worth a shot if they have a store nearby.
