Hi,
My existing two panels are about 10 years old and their output is significantly reduced so I need to replace them. I have room to get three 100 watt panels on the roof with one longwise where the right hand one is below and the other two sideways where the left hand one is, I don't need to get out of the Hecki now as I carry a ladder. Unfortunately ther is not room for two 150's as they are too long or two together too wide. I was concerned about getting the old Sikoflexed brackets off but noticed a post by @tonka that said a cheese wire does it ok. So now I need a good supplier. I had a bad experience with Bau-Tech2012 on Ebay when the panels arrived obviously damaged but he said there was nothing wrong with them and refused to refund initially. I saw on another post Broken Link Removed who sell Baird panels at £79.99 each for 100 watt, also Broken Link Removed but theirs are much more expensive at £145. The specs are similar but the latter are 150mm shorter so obviously different sort of panels but both say Mono Crystaline. I have the MPPT controller that Andy uses about a year old. If you have personal experience of these or other suppliers please let me know. I really need to get them fitted before Morocco .
