I am looking getting some of those. I just picked up some up from Harbor Freight at $3 a watt. Solar panels seem to be dropping in price. Solar installation prices have gone through the roof with the new tax credits. Definitely a DIY project.

How much is shipping on these?

I got 4 of them and if you get the right sizes they can go UPS - about 180 from Florida to CA If I recall correctly.

Quote------------------------------------------------------
4 x SUN-130 - 26 7/8" x 58 1/2" 130 Watt Solar Panel $1.98/Watt (SUN-130) =
$1,029.60
------------------------------------------------------
Sub-Total: $1,029.60
United Parcel Service (2 x 77.00lbs) (Ground): $176.04
Sales Tax: $0.00
Total: $1,205.64

From my invoice -

I went with the smaller ones because they were the cheapest. That was about half of what I have been paying. Service was great and they arrived within less than 2 weeks as I recall - I did not install them yet.

I ordered a 2 'pallets' of 6

IIRC they were sent freight for about $250 (per pallet) FL to Chicago, cheaper if you pick them up at the truck depot, which would not be too big a job for 2 people --they weigh about 40 pounds a piece
and come shipped with some pastic shipping thingies at the corners so they stack nice -- you can just restack them one at a time -- they fit fine in my van with the seats out
