I found an ad on Craiglist in my area. The guy is selling new 550 watt panels.
I think I know the answer to this, but I'm newbie when it comes to solar panels.
He says they are " OEM Canadian Solar", however when I google the actual part number, I get a bunch of Chinese companies.
So I'm guessing these panels are actually made in some giant factory in China, and then all these companies I see selling them as
thier own are really just re-branding them...
The panel is: JMD550P-144M
local guy is selling them for $220.
I think that is really god price since I'm in Hawaii and getting any panels from the mainland would add a lot of shipping cost.
So even if I found a better deal on any panels, with shipping, ( if they are even willing to ship to Hawaii, another problem) I think these are pretty good deal.
Any thoughts appreciated.
