and the same site for "B grade" panels:

It a small family operation. James is the original owners son, I think. He refused to sell me the 190watt 25v panels advertised on the web unless I used an expensive commercial grade controller. He said people had burned out cheaper controller while using their high power panels. 190 watts, btw, is a BIG panel.

I bought a 55watt and two 28watt polycrystalline panels for $421 (no sales tax). They were different prices per watt. They are well made, with heavy aluminum frames. The 55 watt panel says it was made in France. The panels have a Sun sticker on the back and a makers serial number. The 28 watt panels say Voc 21.0v, Isc 2.05 amp, Vmp 16.5v, Imp 1.82amp

The 55 watt panel has the 'cracked ice' crystal look. The 28's are uniform rectangles connected with silver foil strips. The panels put out about twice the watts per sguare foot as my Harbor Freight thin film panels do. The 28's are about 1" wider and longer than the 15 watt HF panels (13"x36 1/2"). Actually HF exaggerates the output of their panels, 10 watts is more realistic.

Suns' panels use tempered glass, HF's do not. One of my HF panels is cracked. I bought some clear RTV silicone today to water proof it.

If were to be accused of preaching anything it'd be to buy 1st tier quality panels - get low cost thin-film or 3,5, 7, even 10 (GE!) year warranty quickie silicon panels and in a few years there may be zero resale, sure they produce some power but the blotches growing on them or worse (HF panels are junk food) would warn off most anyone unless you are asking 10-cents on the dollar, this is where a 20 or 25 year warranty (even if not transferable) mono or poly crystalline first tier will still be selling for 80% of original purchase five or seven or ten years from now (if you don't live in death valley or somewhere that toasts arrays).

No one is their right mind would ship anything fragile by UPS. Sun uses FedEx. They were packaging up my three panels for the drive home before I told them it wasn't necessary to wrap them that well.

I answered an ad on ebay for 10-watt surplus DOT panels (Cape Coral/I-75 security cameras that didn't work well). The shipping was only $19 flat rate, but that doubled the price. I asked why the seller didn't just auction the whole lot, and they didn't give me a straight answer. I didn't bid, since the shipping cost ruins the deal. Even if the panels were free, it was a marginal deal, since I had no way of knowing how well the panels worked.

I ordered an Engel MT45F (12v/120v refrig) today. The Sun panels I got are to help run it instead of the Hotpoint refrigerator in my apartment. That gets me off the grid except for 2 porch lights, a 1 1/2HP pump on the canal out back and the washing machine. Of course I can't run a window a/c off panels, but this summer has been mild enough so far that I've only run it 4 or 5 nights.

I have been eyeballing the Sun panels for a while myself. I am looking at getting 3 for myself and 2 for my parents. (190W) I live in Utah so driving to Miami to pickup panels would be a chore but if I had a couple of people willing to share price of fuel I would love to pickup as many as needed. I have been looking for a good excuse to take a break from work.

Of the two panels I got one looks like new. The other has some areas where it looks like the front glass is a little away from the solar cell. This does not seem to effect the panel at all. I have added a picture of my test wiring (using 12 ga romex :) - will be using 2 gauge this week) so you could see the blemishes.

(note : in the left one that blob is a bee not a defect - that one looks perfect. All the blemishes are on the right one)

I wanted the higher end charge controller so I could get these grid tied type panels which were cheaper then the alternative. My plan is next year to add four more panels wired in two sets of three ( for about 75 volts at 15 amps )

Right now I have them wired in series and generate around 50 volts @ around 6 amps into the charge controller that way. I then have them wired into a 12v battery bank.

Now I just need to build a ground level rack, get the temp sensor for the fx-80 and a dc lightning arrestor.

oh... on the email thing... found that they did not answer the info account at all... I just picked a name off their contacts page : http://sunelec.com/About_Us/body_about_us.html

still took a couple of days for them to get back to me.

 I currently have 20 of the Sun 180's in the barn waiting for the rest of the equip to arrive (just waiting on racks now!)

 I will say that the Sun folks seem a bit harried and rushed BUT the items were as described, shipping was timely and reasonable. There seems to be only 3-4 people in the office entirely. The panels came on a panel with each panel being seperated from the next with nifty hard plastic dividers. The entirity was then wrapped in plastic and well secured.

 Their prices are tough to beat and I'm a seriously hard shopper on cheap stuff much less this order. I HATED their payment options , choosing to do a bank transfer personally (They take no credit)

 The panles do have an occasional blemish but appear well built and solid (even still have Evergreen markings on them) Each panel was marked with it's tested ratings and tested similar for me.

 I would buy from them again without a problem. I dealt with a young lady named Rosa and she was able to get me info quickly , usually by emailing it to me after checking.
