Hello I am a new member.
I have a 4kw FIT system, now <7 years old, it is ok and puts out 3000KWH per year.
It consists of 16 x 250w Seraphim panels all facing west so slightly limited, I am planning to move some to East facing to take advantage of early morning sun, this then will get a bit closer to being South.
I use quite a bit of the power on oil filled radiators to provide some free ? heat whenever possible.
My plan is, if possible to add off grid 8 higher (560-600w) panels and run those also E & W to provide more output, this time however I would like to power an inverter type aircon unit which could turn every 1 KW into 3,8 KW of heat.
My question is, does anyone know how to buy these higher rated panels, in UK I am being offered 370-405w etc, and those are silly money.
I have seen good prices ($97-$118) from Alibabas Rotterdam warehouse but I get the impression they are not interested in small quantity orders.
It might be different if a pallet of 30 panels were ordered, they seem to stock good brands ie, JA,Trina, Jinko,Q cells etc.
Any help or advice appreciated.
Regards Tony
