solar panels

Talk about favorite or hated suppliers, recommend good materials or sources, or anything of the same ilk. This is also a good place to suggest unique ideas and innovations you may have come up with.

Try Craigslist or Kijiji (depending on where you are and which of the two is dominant) - I'm sure there are lots available. Solar panels are great, and durable - who makes it isn't all that important, since they're all quite good. Polymorphous panels have lower output per square inch, which is a drag, so polycrystaline or monocrystaline panels are better, but whatever you decide on you'll get long life out of it.
