Solar Panels
« 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

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.

yep sounds dodgy to me.

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 ;)
