Here is the cheapest solar Panels web site I have found (consistently). (http://store.altenergystore.com/)


Considering only 12v panels.... the cheapest is $5.06/watt at 94watts.

What else have you all found? Anything cheaper?

Might sound silly, but I have seen a bunch of solar products at Costco lately...

Costco USA: http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11113663&whse=&topnav=&browse=&s=1

5.14 a watt and it includes an invertor and charge controller. 160 watts total. $899.99

Here in Canada Costco was also selling a Coleman brand setup with 3 x 15 watt panels for right around $250. You might want to look into those as well for cheap panels.

I have seen some pretty good deals at American Science and Surplus (http://www.sciplus.com/index.cfm) before, not sure what their current inventory looks like...
