Re: Sanyo / Panasonic HIT250 panels

It would be interesting to hear what Wattage you can now get for the same physical size of panel within the current footprint? It makes sense that you can percentage limit the production to match the original contract, that's good to know. Would it be prudent to spec the new panels and check with y...

Re: Sanyo / Panasonic HIT250 panels

Nope, second hand panels are not worth £500, regardless of their provenance. Edit - sorry just saw your post saying they're new. Even so they're still not worth that. You can buy brand new 400W panels for £300 these days. For £200 Inc VAT, and less for 400W panels. I wonder if the argument is like ...

Re: Sanyo / Panasonic HIT250 panels

Sorry what, £500 each for a 250W second hand panel? 500, not 50? This eBay listing must be a chancer hoping someone doesn't know any better as that's outrageous. As per AGT I picked up a bunch of 230W and 265W panels recently for £45 each, I'll be getting the bulk of them rigged up next weekend. Pi...

Re: Sanyo / Panasonic HIT250 panels

I do, and I can see why you are asking the question. However, I understand that there was a recent ruling that generation equipment could be replaced with like for like capacity in the event of failure. My logic is that the replacement of 16 x 250 with 10 x 400 is such a like for like replacement as...

Sanyo / Panasonic HIT250 panels

Hi, I have an installation of 16 of these 250w panels. They seem to be working well & I’m pleased with them. They have been in for almost 12 years. I’ve noticed that they seem to be available via an eBay seller for almost £500 each. Am I missing something here, or is there something special abou...

Re: Doubts about attic location for the Pylon batts.

Mine have been in the roof since 2019 with no problems at all, until I went from 5 x 2 to 3 x 2 batteries & got the cold problem I outlined before …

Re: Doubts about attic location for the Pylon batts.

Mine are in my roof - with the inverter/chargers that drive them. The cables are no longer than 2m each, I could probably shorten them if I really wanted to. There’s no issue with airflow, but temperature is an issue especially as I went down from a stack of 5 to a stack of 3. If the attic is less t...
