Great Solar Deals
« on: June 03, 2007, 08:06:53 PM »
Recently, I got some amazing solar related deals that I felt I just had to share with everyone. Sorry about the horrible quality in the pictures.

This is a mobile powerpak, 33ah, 800cranking amps. Comes with a built-in air compressor. Only $20!

One 2.2watt panel and 2 x 5.5 watt panels. One of the 5.5 watts had been smashed, but it still worked as good as new, so I glued on a piece of glass on top of it. We'll see how long that lasts for. The broken panel was free and the other two were purchased together for $10.

These are pics of a 20amp solar charge controller and an inverter remote. Both attained for a paltry hour worth of work for my brother-in-law.

My favourite, 2 x 15 watt panels. The one on the right was sold as defective, but simply had a loose connection which I quickly fixed, making it work like new. I also gave it a new coat of black paint (it was originaly white when I got it). The one on the left, however, was still in the packaging, only missing some of the adapters that it was supposed to come with, non of which I needed. Got both of them for $35


Not bad, eh? And no, non of these things were stolen.

Wow, those are very nice deals.  Glad to see they weren't stolen too, at those prices I would be a bit suspicious (depending on where you got them).  


.... where did you get them?

I got the panels where my wife works, they were marked as defective and were going to be trashed.

That last picture is interesting. I can see the reflection of you taking the picture on the face of the panel on the right. And the reflection of the cat that is reacting like you are standing on the cats tail.

looks to me like the curtains/shades, and a water bottle sitting on top of something. I can't quite tell what the something is, but it looks like there's a pvc pipe end sticking though a wooden wheel, similar to a wire spool.


just my guess

I recognize the 15 watt panels as the panels sold at northern Tool 79+tax  free shipping from a store outlet.

  leave the screws loose when you tie them down

I bought seven at store close out for 40 aech they have been up fo a couple of years and they do well in all weather

Things we see in pictures-

In the pic of the two 15's, on the right is what looks like a old panel for a little recharging light, like one I got ?
