Solar gear prices in Mexico

Price includes delivery to San Felipe from Ensenada. Hope you can see the specs. I'm probably going to pull the trigger on these. Not having to import them from the States or pay for Trans border shipping saves another 2000 bucks.
Anyone have any experience with this brand?

This is encouraging. Most sources I have found in Mexico are very primitive/outdated and expensive.

I am near the U.S. so I bought the batteries from Signature Solar and had them shipped to a freight service office near the border , then I paid a service to bring them across the border and deliver to me.

I don't remember if I asked, but could you tell me who you used for freight forwarding and customs service?

Is it just the shipping from the states that’s so much it is there some kind of Tarrifs coming into Mexico?
$2,000 seems like a lot just for shipping..

Customs duties/fees are sky high. Plus 16% IVA. The shipping is manageable. But all the other crap makes it almost impossible.

So you have shipping in the U.S to your desired location. Vendor charges you this. Most companies are reluctant to ship to Mexico. They will ship it to a U.S. location and then you can hire an international shipper to transport it to Mexico.... you pay again ....in addition to that you then pay 16-19% iva tax at the border.....you pay again. I am only 2.5 hrs from AZ so i go get the parts myself in AZ. If i do that i dont have to pay the international shipper.
There are very limited lithium batteries dealers in mexico and they are expensive. Solar panels are abundant.
I prefer to use U.S. based companies for batts and inverters because of the tech support and warranties.
