I live in Michigan and by ordering from Signature Solar over the phone I got free shipping, I purchased the Talesun 400 Watt Bifacial solar panels for less than $100 each. The price on their website if you buy a pallet of 36 panels is $3600, but then I also got the Military discount which was $108.00. Michigan Sales tax was $209.52, so technically if you include sales tax, I paid $102.82 per panel delivered right to my home in Michigan. Yes, I did have to purchase 36 panels which I plan to use all 36 of them, but I have friends begging me to sell them panels and are offering me $150 each. So if you don't want or need all 36 panels ( a full pallet ), you can sell the extra.

Thanks Jason. Dripping Springs is right down the road from Austin. Woohoo!

This is great! I have wondered about used ones, but have always been worried. I didn’t realize new ones could be so low priced. Thank you. This is extremely useful.

EU, Poland here. Few weeks ago I bought bifacial 390W Jolywood hd120n panels for 74USD each, with flat transport cost at about 120USD. All costs include VAT tax. It was from a large seller/distributor that has a lot of different brands, including the Ja, Trina, Hyundai and others. A year ago I bought the same panels, 9 of them, one was cracked. I reported that, got a refund for it and got to keep it for free. I sealed the crack with transparent silicone and it works just fine.
There are many panels here that give more 5 watts per dollar. Hyundai was at about 5.6W per USD (18 cents/W). I'm guessing there have to be some additional duty costs in US for the prices to be that much higher, usually it is the other way around (EU vs US).

I bought new (imperfect) Sunpower Maxeon gen 5 IBC 450-watt panels for $40 each.. No tax and no shipping, as I picked up from the warehouse in Phoenix, AZ. The panels have over 22% efficency and were ranked #1 in the world... I'm happy 🙂 FYI: I got lucky with a end-of-year clearance sale.

This is so helpful Jason! I really appreciate the video and all the options on how to find them! I am not on Facebook so thanks for the time to talk about the other options

Thanks so much!

Thanks Jason for a great video. You have demonstrated that you can save a lot of money by shopping locally from your neighbors who have purchased pallets of quantities of these panels and are often willing to break up those pallets fewer than a whole pallet. A few questions arise that you haven't talked about in this video.:
1) There are a ton of solar panel companies out there. Almost every day I hear of another company that I've never heard of. Can you offer us any guidance on determining which are higher or lower quality? Are there any standouts that you would steer clear of or give preference to? Are domestically made panels necessarily of higher quality?
2) What do you think about bifacial panels? Are they a time-tested technology or is the jury still out? All the ones I've seen (again, there are a ton of different brands and I'm sure I've only come across a small fraction) have long warranties, but I'd rather not have to make a warranty claim. Now that they are out, do you think that we should give preference to them in for sale listings? Are there situations where they are not better or should be avoided?
3) Speaking of warranties, sellers on Facebook Marketplace often tout the long warranties, but do you really think these companies will honor the warranty from someone who did not actually make the order and is lacking in proof of purchase?
4) Are there any differences in the connections on panels that were produced for the general public versus those made for the commercial and government sectors?
5) I've gone onto the sites of some of these solar panel companies and they will have many panels with just a slight difference in wattage. For example 510, 520, 530 watts. Small incremental differences. Any tips to deciding which are best for you? I'm guessing it comes down to those Open Circuit Voltage (Voc)and Maximum Power Current (Imp) values and whether they are compatible with a particular power station or charge controller. Maybe there are other considerations.

Thanks again for empowering us to build the best solar systems for our set of circumstance and budgets. Look forward to your next video. Cheers!

[ronclough]

Outstanding video well done, sir. Thank you.

[ronbridegroom]

I would love to see a quick video with some test results using the Talesun panels. They are such a good deal on Signature Solar with the free shipping and the low cost per panel. A bit over $1, 000 + sales tax for 10, 400 watt bifacial panels. Wow

[theclaxton]

This is super exciting

Can bifacial panels be used for a camper setup where they'll primarily get sun from one side?

[BobBob-ilku]

Why is there so many new ones available on FB marketplace?

[shawn]

Im a Salt Lake City resident too! Thank you for taking the time to educate us. I need a couple of 400W solar panels and I want to install on roofing. Can you recommend a brand and local installer for small job to power a battery system

[timtaylor]

You can get 370-watt panels for $65 in Las Vegas right now in pallet quantiles and $75 for induvials.

[herbertvonsauerkrautunterh]

I can buy new 440w panels for AUD$143 from a supply store locally in Australia. Longi i think
