Looking into adding solar to my Son's house. Figure 10 panels/ batteries, inverter to start. Energy bill runs around $150.00/month until summer. Has a fireplace that I can mod for MUCH better output for winter. Just no wood available, YET.

This is a bad question to ask.
Historically here used panels have a number of pitfalls, users dont like them, water contamination bunch of other stuff.

Used panels can go bad, but they can be repaired:

Deals can be had from bulk sellers. I come across them sometimes, but I have never been in the market for enough (100+) to investigate.
If you only want a dozen, then Kijiji and Ebay are the target you need. Auctions come up from time to time.
