Where'd you get used hardware? That's awesome. I moved to a new house, so I'm again in the market for solar hardware!

Used solar panels are fairly common. A few years ago, I bought 20x 250w (5kw) used panels for $740.

Including freight it was $1120.

What is a good site to look for used panels?
During my research,

- Recommended from solar forums: https://jaysenergy.wixsite.com/jaysenergy. I haven't bought anything but have communicated with them and gotten a few quotes.

- Santan solar (is where i bought mine from) via ebay (prices were cheaper than their website).

- Craigslist. Occasionally I see posts for people "parting" out used solar panels in bulk.

Mostly ebay and craigslist. I had some alerts set up and was patient.
