Why would you spend ~$2.72/watt for some no name brand, from some no named seller, no UL listing panel etc when for even less money you can buy from a reputable retailer, including our site host, amongst others? My answer would be,, not on a bet thank you very much?

Hmm... "US based". I guess that is why the domain is listed in China:

Registrant:

Province/State : Zhejiang
Country : cn
Postal Code : 450008

What made you think that they might not be a US based wholesaler?

PUT THE SUN IS CONVERTED TO WEALTH BUILDING RICH HUMANITY IS OUR PURPOSE! - solar panel

Hmm... Translate to Chinese through Babel Fish:

投入太陽被轉換成建立富有的人類的財富是我們的目的

And translate back to English:

Invests the sun to transform the establishment rich humanity's wealth is our goal

Hmm... Even Babel Fish does better.

By the way, there is no listing for Lavie Solar at the contact address on their website. Lavie Solar does have a business license listed to, what appears to be, a home address in the Texas Taxable Entity data base.

Yep. We are all skeptics. A good healthy dose with my _ _

I'm giving up on learning Spanish, and guess I'll have to learn Mandarin.

Personally, I wouldn't beat up the the chinese as they have prove that they can come up to par with manufacturing quite quickly. The sad part is we have let them.

I also would cool it a bit with the rhetoric that sounds a bit racist to me.

Look at the cells closer. Looks like 3x6 cells. 9 by 4 = 36 times about 1.98v per cell = 72 watts.... Thought they said 100 watts per panel. Now it's $3.82 per watt and false advertising. I'll bet that Evergreen makes these cells..... Where are they getting 100 watts ? All 17 of my panels have 4x4 x 36 cells @ 72 watts or 2 watts per cell. What are my panels rated then for wattage ?

alright I no this post is old but I figure I would give some info on these panels Since I own a 1.2 KWH array made out of these panels And have no issues with performance
Actully... They are 100 Watt panels I no because I own a few and got them at the right price so I bought them size of the cells dont mean anything its the effiency of them you can have a 2x2 out perform a 3x6 its how its made that makes it worth while ... I am from ILLinios also I have a 2000Ah battery bank xantrex prosine 1800 inverter and a Xantrex XW Mppt 150 charge controller the ratings dont lie on my History log and im hitting around 6.2kwh a day on a nice sunny day
