Solar Panel Update
posted 12:32 PM Tuesday, September 30, 2008 by nrivera2
We have narrowed down our panel choices to two suppliers. This was based heavily on the total power supplied for a given area, the price per watt and availability.
One of the suppliers we recently discovered, will sell the panels themselves to the solar decathelon team. Before we believed they would only sell the whole service (panels and installation). However since we now discovered they can sell just the panels, they are our most promising supplier.
The other panel supplier has a really good balance of price, output power and most important availability. They mention that they would be able to ship within 48 hours of ordering which is a huge plus due to the normal delay in panel fab and shipment.
We will present they options to the team from there hopefully make an informed decision.
