When it comes to finding
cheap solar panels at wholesale prices, it's going to
be difficult to find inexpensive solar panels that aren't made in
China; however, you can beat China at it's own game.
Let's get one thing clear,
just because it's made in China doesn't mean it's
inferior. Some top brands are manufactured in China. Did you know
that “Apple” and “Dell” are made in China? Those companies
products are made in China; however, they are subject
to production standards. This is something that you're going to use
to your advantage.
“Apple” and “Dell”
have set standards as to which materials can be used and vigorous
testing that has to be passed. The prices on their products also
reflects these extra precautions. Don't expect to find cheap
solar panels that adhere to production standards. It's
just not going to happen. What you want to look for is top solar
brands
manufactured in China that have material and production
standards. You'll want to save this information and use the
material lists to produce your own panels for much less.
Unfortunately the race
for, cheap and obtainable, solar power has flooded the market with
inferior junk. It's become almost impossible for the average consumer
to know what's inside those wholesale solar panels made in
China. Inferior products saturate the market because of the
demand for low prices. Lower prices mean cutting material cost and
production inspections. The final production of the solar panels may
appear like the top brands, but are definitely inferior. If you're
looking for top brands on solar panels than you're going to have to
pay the fee for production protocol, even if they are made in China,
unless you fabricate the panels yourself.
If your application for
your wholesale solar panels is temporary, than by all
means buy cheap Chinese manufactured solar panels. Just remember that
the old adage “ You get what you pay for. “. Don't expect quality
at rock bottom prices. Don't expect those panels to last more than a
season, or line up in series. Matter of fact, some of them will lack
standard power connections and require the additional purchase of
converter kits. It's the nature of the beast.
The only way to beat
those low prices and still get great quality is to
manufacture your solar panels yourself. Solar panels are made of
inexpensive materials. The mark up on even wholesale is over 100%.
Cutting the production cost is the most fiscal way to obtain
solar power. When you make them yourself you're in control of
production, testing and material choices. Even if you paid an
electrician to wire your cells, you'd still pay less than wholesale.
You can buy top notch cells and tabbing and still beat the
pants off those wholesale prices. At the end of your DIY
solar panel project you'd have superior panels that cost less than
inferior wholesale panels. If you desire higher wattage for less,
than you're going to have to manufacture the panels yourself.
You can still get quality
solar components manufactured in China. Look for brands that have
standards and buy the same components they manufacture with. This
information is easy to obtain and will lessen your material costs.
Buying those materials in bulk is also recommended. You don't have to
completely avoid components made in China. Just be aware of what
you're purchasing and for what purpose.
