This is getting ridiculous.

Now who feels stupid for not buying 20 lbs of these cells from Bryon while we had the chance? The guy putting copper and tinned ribon in the deal as a kit (first link) is a genius IMO. He's getting twice what I paid for my cells.

When I visited our EBay friend he told me to get my act right back there and buy another lot, and was up front about the supply disappering, and volunteered it was okay to compete with him on EBay... All around good guy from what I saw of him & wish him well in the future.


My getting away from his Massachusets place that day was miraculous, Interstate 95 went impassible from freezing rain a minute or two behind me and there were a few times I watched 20 cars skidding in formation around me that I do not want to see again... Could have alot to do with me not going back there, at least in winter!


Have to admit I'm getting the itch to re-sell my lot and buy commercial panels w/ the gains but I guess that would be Webster's definition of poor sportsmanship :)

Poor sportsmanship, maybe, but not a bad idea. I haven't seen anything come out of any of our shops that's going to hold up like a commercial panel would. I'm rather commited already and will end up with 400 or 500 watts when I'm done, all for $500. Even If I sell them for twice what I've got into them, I can only make half the power with a commercial panel.
