After having Mike laugh at my $.7 a watt from lowes... I found a local guy with new (manufactured in 2015) solar panels. 250 watt, poly, for $100 each I can pick them up so no delivery or tax.
He has two models:
cs6p-250px - CANADIAN & tsm-250pa0s.08 - TRINA
Another option is 2x 375 watt panels for $168 each whic is about $0.45. He has them in mono. By a company called GCL? https://www.gclsi.com/uploads/EN-M672H(1).pdf
Any thoughts on these?
I will get 3 of them, a 60amp mppt epever charger, and 6x 215 ah lead acid 6V GC batteries for 12V system with 645ah.
I considered going to 24v but then I either will have to get 12 acid batteries for the same ah which is too much or upgrade to some super expensive LIFI batteries.
I think it is hard to beat a $90 sam's club 215 ah battery for a bi weekly getaway cabin.
