    Auxin solar panels - anyone installed it or have opinions on it

    Got a quote from a installer for Auxin panels.
    Model: AXN6P610T260 Poly 260W

    quite low price point @ 3.82/W but not sure of the quality
    manufactured in San Jose and installer "Cinnamon Solar" says they actually supply components to other manufacturers and have started doing it themselves from 2008.

    Anyone heard of it and/or installed it.
    reviews online are very few.

    Thanks for any clarifications.

    Doesn't seem that low a price to me, especially for something of a mutt.

        Don't forget they are made in the US. Small company with CA wages will bring the $/watt up quickly.

          With the great dumbing of America that's going on, I'm not sure made in the U.S.A. is an attribute I'd consider to be an automatic plus at this time.

            Me neither. I just thought a couple of reasons for the high $/watt quote might have something to do with the high labor rates and utility costs for something made in CA.

              Could be. And to add to that: From what I'm seeing, CA is leading the pack in the dumb race to the train wreck we're headed for, making any extra $$ cost like adding insult to injury.
