What I've seen lately in my Spam box, advertised at the usual ridiculous
price, is for low wattage Solarworld modules. We currently are
installing 285 and 290 watt models, and what was being offered were 260
and under. Either they're knock offs, or someone is moving some really
old stock.
This would be a clever way for Chinese manufacturing to circumvent the
tariff I suppose.

So far I have purchased mostly from known distributors, so haven't
encountered the cheap knockoff issue. Is this happening much? What is the
evidence that this is gong on?
I've seen ads claiming SolarWorld modules at over $0.30 / Watt cheaper
than the REC modules which I get good pricing on. I don't know the
companies. For all I know, they could be counterfeit. They have definitely
been advertised as cheap at times as the very lowest end of the Chinese
imports. When something seems too good to be true, it usually isn't.

Good morning,
Are they one of the ones that are being put out as knockoffs ?
You know what I mean, cheap counterfeit make everything look good, make
the label look exceptional grab the money and run panels ?
I certainly hope not, I have had exceptionally good luck with solar World
and their predecessors!
Later,
Bob

What's your definition of cheap...and for which size panels?

A lot of ads for cheap Solarworld modules come into my inbox. Does
anyone know why they are so cheap? Does anyone have a trusted
distributor for bargain Solarworld modules?
Thanks,
