Just looked on city plumbing again - longi 535W panels are now just £88 each!

But they could replace 4 on my front porch sitting on prime SSW facing real estate. Then those existing 4 could replace the non matching silver frame ones on my decking area which were originally on the front porch to start off with.

These are the last ones, honest.

Front porch (V1) 1kWp



Front porch (V2) 1.26kWp



Front porch (V3) 1.72kWp

Looks good Nowty, can I ask the panel price? Mind and update the list.

I'm guessing £63.17 each or four for £252.68.

Now look here, my scrolling thumb needed recharged!

They were £75 each with the VAT but the free delivery is sweet. I think they manage to do this because they come from a local depot, so a relatively short distance.

I don't actually know how they do it. My single panel was strapped to a long pallet. Very much.on.its own and the guys at the depot behaved as if it was the first they'd seen? I'm surmising it's a loss leader. I don't know any other mobs that are doing it at this price point?

I don't know either now, they were collected from Warrington yesterday and arrived here on the south coast 9am this morning, next day delivery from a national pallet delivery company.

They are the blackest ones In have ever seen, cannot even see any cell interconnect wires at all.

Congratulations, enjoy the fitting. I always do!


We are due a downstairs bathroom rip out and refit as walk in shower. I quite liked city plumbing wee showroom so will give them the business. Would never have known about them but for the solar connection.

I was about to go out to get some 18mm thick plywood as a working board on the car port roof as my previous crawling boards were rotting through. Then I realised the pallet the panels came on was 18mm plywood with steel reinforcing strips, just what I needed.

Last time I replaced the panels I used a mini tower at the front of the house which was hard work, but I reckon its going to be an easier job working from my car port.
