solar supplies for the UK

[Thunderchild]

I'm thinking of setting up a solar system in england, who can I buy the stuff from, solar panels ecc. ?

 

[Misterbenn]

Sharp Solar...
or BP solar

 

[Thunderchild]

sorry they booth seem like useless firstly I am looking for a company that will supply x number of panels and so on so that i can set up myself not someone that wants to come and do it for me, the first link looks like an american company anyhow,

I need something like jaycar but in the UK

thanks anyway

maybe i can help u for get the solar panels. We produce solar panels in China.

 

[Pommie]

Do you have a web site?

[Thunderchild]

your website is soooo sloooooooowwww do something about it,
it dosn,t work either I can't get it in english,
by the way do your solar panels work by some miracle ?

Check https://www.maplin.co.uk - I've recently received a bulletin about loads of solar power stuff from them!.

 

[Thunderchild]

yea I was told about them last night but wow 1000 £ for a 150 W panel are they kidding ? I'm not sure on postage cost but jaycar sells 120 w panels for 349 £ thats a big difference and probably going to make up for postage cost

I don't know of any company in the UK that sell/install solar panels but:
I can tell you that the correct selection of panels, inverter(s), installation isn't something easy.
I will never buy such equipment over the net.
I know what I'm talking about since I have 18 Sharp panels with a Fronius inverter for several years on my roof.
I've made an outdoor test system for solar panels (Sharp, Siemens, Kaneka, UniSolar) for the company I work for.

What about subsidy/grant in the UK??
I paid only 33.33% of my installation, rest was subsidy

Thunderchild,
The pound sign ('£') comes before the number not after, it's £1000 not 1000 £.

I thought you lived in Italy, are you thinking of relocating to the UK?

 

[fjqing8888]

We can provide solar panel for 3.7US$ per watt. High efficiency and 25 years warranty. Usful for on grid and off grid.
For any questions please send me mail.

I thought that was a rather rude post.

The site is slow for me but not unusable (I spend a lot of time on Chinese sites and they are quite often very slow). I also managed to get it in English without a problem.

Oh and the solar panels work by light

 

[blueroomelectronics]

Perhaps the site is solar powered

 

[mcs51mc]

... High efficiency...

Fact and figures please! Define "high" 50%, 60%, 90% what will it be??

... and 25 years warranty...

In case of damage or whatever other problem will you come over from china to solve the problem and/or replace the panels for free !??!

 

[Hero999]

I thought 5% was good for a solar panel.

 

[Krumlink]

Their has been some major breakthrough with solar pannels. They have created a crystalline fluid that can absorb the entire spectrum of visible light, but they are having problems getting it into a crystalline structure for opimum efficency. They rated the efficentcy of about 80%

I couldnt think that it could be done, but thunderchild has a bigger signature then what I had!

 

[Krumlink]

Wow.

Where's the rest of the video?
I hate it when they only include half of it!

 

[mcs51mc]

Wow.

Didn't you hear the "... ...could be... ..." at the start of the video.
Nano Solar is trying for almost several years now, so don't expect it tomorrow
I saw that video something like 5 years ago... ...
Former UniSolar now ECD Ovonics is already producing flexible thin film PV cells for several years but their efficiency can't beat cristalline PV cells (for now).
