Hi all! I am fortunate enough have regular deliveries of Amazon returns for TP Solar brand panels. I check them out and make sure everything works and they have all the accessories, then sell them locally. Apparently Amazon would throw these out so I think if this as doing my part to recycle!

I’m located in the Hartford, CT area and have lots of panels coming in every week so I figured I’d post here and see if anyone was interested in getting panels on the cheap for projects.

To keep pricing easy, I’m selling these for 60% off current Amazon retail prices. I don’t want to deal with shipping so local pickup only. Feel free to email me directly at fg.todd@gmail.com too.

Here are links to the Amazon pages for each kind I have. Right now, I have over 110 panels total and new ones arrive daily...

Not a good sign that so many of these panels are being returned to Amazon.:unsure: Big red flag.?? Amazon reviews are best taken with an ounce of caution.
 
@MrNatural22 It's hard to say that without knowing the total number of sales to get at the percentage of returns, right? I'm sure apple has millions of returns because they have such high volumes. All I can say is I personally bought these and have tested them thoroughly and they seem like high quality products. The company offered to send me a bunch of returns because Amazon destroys them (!) so I figure this helps keep them out of the landfill and people can get a good deal. I agree Amazon is full of shady reviews but their stuff does have consistently good reviews in the 4.5 star range and they seem like real people on the whole.
 
I'll ask the question here instead of emailing, since perhaps it'll be useful to others.

1. Have you tried wiring via MC4 multiple 120W panels in series and confirm they work with something more than 12V SCC ?
2. The amazon price on the 120W panel is not listed b/c amazon is OOS, what is the price on the 120W panel ?

I've been known to drive to Charlton, MA for beer from PA so making a stop in CT on one of these trips could be possible.
 
I’ve connected 2 of these in series via the included MC4 adapters and it seemed to work fine. My Yeti can only handle 48v on the MPPT controller so 2 is my test max. I’d do $70/ea on the 120w.
 
Hi Todd, in the Hartford area. I'll keep you in mind as I'll need panels for a Bluetti EB150.
