All together, I have about 9400 watts of solar to install. Half that is going to batteries. some is going for space heat/cooling and possibly a hybrid electric car if any watts are left. For a temp.setup, just 2280 watts will work very well. Last edited by philb; 02-20-14 at 08:12 AM.. |

When I recently inquired about shipping a pallet of panels from California to FL, including residential delivery, it was in the realm of $500. Moving a loaded oversized pallet ~3000 miles for an extra $300 actually seemed like a bargain. |

Shipping would probably be even cheaper if you could get it to ship through the China Post office. Shipping through there is cheaper than any point to point location in the US. I am aware of several business "deals" between US shippers and businesses. |

Sorry about the files I posted. I took them with my phone and I had a big problem getting them to post right side up. Also, thanks for the replies!

I have however received two EBay orders I made since returning to the USA which originated from nearby city of Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. I did technically mail the missing post cards during Chinese New Year holida, but this is ridiculous. The post cards were stamped Par Avion just like my EBay packages. |
