I agree with how much the used panels cost depending on the manufacturer. In my area new panels can be purchased regularly for 60 to 80 cents per watt. I have seen used 7 to 10 year old panels selling for as little as 30 cents per watt obo although a lot of those have been snapped up since the tariffs have began. The main thing with used is to be able to check each panel at full load to determine what their output is. Otherwise negotiate a lower price.
