Mage Solar Panels

I have Mage panels on my roof.

Mod question - an advertisement?

[TnAndy]

I have Mage panels on my roof. They have been producing fantastic power for me. They do have a plant in China that have to follow specific requirements for the production of the panels including the ingots that are used in the panels. The plant they opened recently in Dublin,Ga is making US made panels and if you specify to your intevrator that is doing your install that you want US made panels, you will get US made panels. Mage manufacturing upholds the highest integrity for their company and their sales staff. Their panels compare to the best of all other panels produced. Dont be afraid of Mage Solar panels. Their prices are competetive and the product is great. They have a better temperature coefficiency rating than most of their competition, they tested wonderfully in the ammonia testing so farms will have better longevity with Mage panels.

Uh, you don't happen to work for them, do ya ? Just in the interest of full disclosure......ahahahaaaa......

TnAndy-I do NOT work for Mage Solar, thank you for asking.

Peak Power-Check it out. Mage has a plant in Dublin Ga now where they are producing US made panels. They can fill orders for panels that are UL listed and also ARRA compliant.

Research is the key. If you want to know about something, in the age of computers, look it up. Put in a bit of effort and you will get the facts!!

And since I am not on Mages payroll, this is not an advertisement, its a testimonial.

[TnAndy]

See, I wasn't the only one that thought it sounded sorta canned. If not, I apologize.

So, describe your system, how much a fantastic amount of power is, and so on.

Did you self install it, as you seem to be quite well versed in the lingo for the average homeowner.

canned?

See, I wasn't the only one that thought it sounded sorta canned.

Same here. It looked more like advertising copy than a testimonial of a pleased customer.

If not, I apologize.

Likewise.

Mage solar china

Previous poster was correct. Mage assembles some panels in the US.
Most are made in China by another company and only have a Mage Solar label.

Mage Solar is Chinese (examples, these are just found via web search)

My apologies for taking so long to reply, life got a bit crazy for me out of no where.
My system is a 5.67 kW system with 2-190 panels (1 asian made 1 US made) and 21-230 watt panels both in mono and poly. Before you ask, I wanted to see what the difference was in panel production between US/Asain panels and panel sizes. I have to tell you that the US made 190 panel has the best performance. We have produced over 400 kW hours with this system over the last month. Our return of investment on a system such as this is 8 years. That was a decision that was not hard to make. I have a solat edge invertor so that I can log in online and see exactly what each panel is doing (and so can anyone with a Solar Edge invertor).
As far as installation, it was not a self install, it was installed by a friend of mine. As far as being well versed, I research, ask questions, and pay attention to what is told to me. Thanks for the compliment though.

Anything else?

So what are you using for inverters with that conglomeration of modules?
You may have answered this but I am very tired from closing too many deals for this year.

[pittgirlee]

I would consider Mage to be tier one. They dont buy panels they do contract manufacturing, which means that there is a factory that is in China and Mage gives the specifications as to how they are built.
Another thing I liked was the 30 year warranty and the positive tolerances.
Another thing to clear up is that Mage is a German Company NOT a chinese company, and you know you cant get better than German engineering.
My invertor is a solar Edge invertor.

[solarsolar]

...there is a factory that is in China and Mage gives the specifications as to how they are built...

Well, "a" factory is maybe an understatement... based on ..... mage imports from about 11 different Chinese module suppliers. I have an account at ImportGenius and can post the list of your suppliers if you don't know them...

The statement 'German engineering is meaningless without clarification.

If a product is designed and built by Germans or with the design firm in charge of quality it may mean something.

If the Geraman companies responsibility ends with the design then you should not have a warm fuzzy feeling at all.

[s.xavier]

Im sorry pittgirlee, if you are saying because they are a german company that designs and then outsource the manu to china as a qualifier for being a tier one it is a touch off the wall... Why? Most companies DO that... You make it sound like it is something special that they are doing.... comon now lets be real

Tier one for Mage that is a stretch, maybe tier two but a BIG maybe. If you consider field deployment, sales, brand, efficiency, after market support, etc, etc, etc you get the point.

concur russ...

no warm and fuzzy feeling with that argument...

SolarSolar - Please do!
If you can post a list of who panels Mage "labels" and puts a 30 year power guarantee on we would love to see

So far I know they use (and by use I mean these companies slap Mage labels on their panels):
Jinko
Jetion
Sunflower
Hareon

Very poor quality.
pitt girl - they are tier 3 at best.
