Re: Any Info or Experince with this company?
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?

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

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.Near San Francisco California: 3.5kWatt Grid Tied Solar power system+small backup genset -

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 ?Nature's Design & Green Energy on FaceBook : Stop by and "Like" us anytime.. Many up-to-date articles about Renewables every day.

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
