Best 285W+/- panel + M250 micro-inverter price in Canada or US

[SolarCanada]

Hi. I am a first-time DIY solar array installer. I have settled on a 285W panel size +/- as I need this high a wattage as I am restricted to how many panels I can put on my roof because of its size and I want to get as close to the 10KW Ontario microFIT program limit.

I am thinking of getting the Heleine 285W panels that are manufactured in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. The best price is $320 CAD or about $1.13/W ($240 or $0.84/W US) . I plan to use these with the Enphase M250 micro-inverters and the best price I seem to be able to get for those is $131 USD or about $175 CAD.

Does anyone know a better price for these Heleine 285W panels or something equivalent to them and/or a better price for the M250's than I have been able to find? I need 30 of each.

Thanks!

I can't find online the datasheet of those panels . Anyway you can use Sunpower, Panasonic HIT or LG 300Wp or if u want 285 you can try with SolarWorld . Those are all well known products

Here's the link. I was hoping to get a reference for a Canadian retailer that would have the same or equivalent at a lower cost as US prices once converted at $1.33 to $1 US seem to be always more expensive than Canadian for panels (not for the Enphase micro inverter though).
