Opinions on Innotech Panels

Bones

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience with innotech panels?  It seems they are made from chipped or rejected cells with hotspots that are cut and patched.

Thanks,

Chris

Let's cut and splice high power electronics and sell it to some poor fellow and have him bolt it to his roof.

Here is an article about the company/process from 2011:

And possibly bankrupt in 2015?

Or not?

Exactly what I found I couldn't find any videos or reviews of people who seem to have actually installed these panels. 

Price wise it seems too good to be true, and I guess if the company IS bankrupt, then that means no warranty?

I do not know--Bankruptcy article is newer than last press release--But website is still up...???

In the end, we are paying around $1 per Watt for larger solar panels (200 watts and larger). Compared to the $5 to $10 per Watt a decade or two ago--The price of solar panel warranty is pretty much "self insured". No idea how long companies will be around these days.
