Solar Panel Power System For A New Project


Hi

Our company was granted a contract to install solar panels to power gate openers and outdoor LED lighting for a building estate.

We currently buy our panels from Japan and Germany , but my boss is considering buying from China for this project due to the low budget of the granted contract. We also understand that many large name Japanese and German companies manufacture their panels in China now also.

I am looking for buy from a company in China , Hong Kong . The company's name is Horizon Star Energy Limited ,

Their website can be seen, just go to Google and type in their company name
( sorry, I am a new member and it doesn't allow me to paste hyper links )

they sell a wide variety of Solar panels and other products, and their prices are quite low.

Has anyone had any experience dealing with this company in retail or wholesale ?

or can anyone recommend another company with great prices and quality ?

I mainly need to buy Solar Panels and Charge Controller Regulator

Thanks

Avon

Spam - so OP probably won't post again, but their prices aren't that cheap, I don't see any specs with UL listings, they aren't CEC listed, and they are small panels not really applicable to home/business/commercial power.

Re: Solar Panel Power System For A New Project


the panels will only be used to trickle charge a few small batteries , it is not intended to power the whole house.

do low voltage DC panels need UL / CEC?
