Title: Solar Panels
Post by: maverick01 on October 28, 2012, 08:09:04 AM: Hi Guys,

Im asking this question for a mate as he is not a member on here. But he is looking for some solar panels and he happened to stumble across these online http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140870899865?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140870899865?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649)

His question to everyone is has anyone tried them and does anyone think they will be any good.

I have tried several times to talk him into buying some of Jetcrew but he likes to do everything on the cheap.

Caveat emptor........

Jetcrew/Mandrakes is the safe option.

If he cant afford the quality of the suggested guys on here then at least get them off a reputable ebay supplier like bitdeals....they still sell cheap chinese gear but they honour warranties.......speaking from personal experience ;)
