You can pull up at MO Wind and Solar off of MO 60 and grab 600W panels for $195/ea today: https://windandsolar.com/risen-595-watt-mono-solar-panel-bif...

That's ballpark where you say, about $65/200W.

They also have remanufactured panels, like the 410W trina ones, even cheaper. Good outfit, nice and helpful, bought several lots of panels off of them.

I just put another 5x550W panels up 2 months ago, and they are now 101eur per panel including tax! 30e less than I just paid. wish I had space for more!

It seems like the size & cost of the panel has stayed the same and the power output has gone up.

It's frustrating. Panels around $0.25/W exist, but it's really difficult to get your hands on them in small quantities as an individual. You can either string together a bunch of tiny eBay specials or drive halfway across the country to find a distributor of the panel you want who's willing to sell to consumers.

In Germany, 405 Watt panels new can be had for 65 euros. The law allows up to 800W to be connected to homes with relatively little bureaucracy, as a balcony solar power plant which renters can install without modifying the building. This seems to have pushed the price down, so there are many 800W kits including panels, an inverter and cables available for under 400 euros.

Mind sharing a link to buy one? Not in Germany but am in Portugal looking to buy
