Christopher,
Just out of curiosity (I do not have any used panels available--Not in business), why do you want them? Are you trying to match/repair older installations?

Hi Bill, ...
I own a home Improvement company in Upland CA and in one of my offices (Commercial Division) I have hung new and old solar panels on the wall and I thought would be real cool to hang a few from the past.
I first start my renewable energy industry path back in 1993 when I started as an off-grid guru.
Its would provide a great conversation piece with a potential customer.
I like being unique if you will ... lol

Christopher,
OK... You are looking for 1-off samples or so...
We have an old thread or so with some interesting historical panel pictures:

I'll take it ... just let me know what the total is and if you want a check, credit card, etc.
Thank you so much!

Christopher,
Just to be clear--I do not have any of these panels (and I am not in the solar business). These are pictures our members have posted over the last few years.
Take care,

Roofing companies frequently remove old panels with new roof. They just want to get rid of them it seems.First Bank:16 180 watt Grape Solar with FM80 controller and 3648 Inverter....Fullriver 8D AGM solar batteries. Second Bank/MacGyver Special: 10 165(?) watt BP Solar with Renogy MPPT 40A controller/ and Xantrex C-35 PWM controller/ and Morningstar PWM controller...Cotek 24V PSW inverter....forklift and diesel locomotive batteries

Wow ... that's a bummer because they can still be used.

Thats how Denver solar companies get free panels. I'm often amazed and chagrined by how wasteful people are. A humble person could scratch a living by "dumpster diving". Last year I scored two red steel 5 gallon fuel containers that were being tossed. Those things cost $45 and last for decades with decent treatment. But who likes looking at trash? I was walking the dog.
Had a wealthy room mate who liked to toss my expensive triple chrome plated porcelain handled Mikasa silverware. He called me "petty" when I confronted him about it. Said they were "plastic". Shoot - sometimes I reuse plastic dinner ware. Though thriftiness can lead to excessive stuff - another problem in the eyes of most.First Bank:16 180 watt Grape Solar with FM80 controller and 3648 Inverter....Fullriver 8D AGM solar batteries.

Agreed!
Let me know if you know anyone wanting to sell some old solar panels please.
Thank you!

Not sure if you got my reply to your PM but I do have some old GE 150 watt 72 cell 24 volt panels for sale. I have some other older panels for sale as well, just not sure you would call them vintage. I can PM you photos if you want.
2.1 Kw Suntech 175 mono, Classic 200, Trace SW 4024 ( 15 years old but brand new out of sealed factory box Jan. 2015), Bogart Tri-metric, 460 Ah. 24 volt LiFePo4 battery bank. Plenty of Baja Sea of Cortez sunshine.
