Solar experts question..Bajabus, anyone?


Hey solar experts, what do you think of the following deal offered by a professional friend who finally got on the grid and wants to sell the whole package. I'd have to import the used equipment to Baja from southern california.

1. 8 ? Arco M-52 Tri-lams (24panels) watts 7 amps 300.00 ea 2400.00
2. 12 - Kyocera 100 watt 3 amps 100.00 ea 1200.00
3. 1- Prostar 30 amp solar charge controller 150.00 150.00
4. 1- IBE 240 ? 24 volt 120 amp battery charger 800.00 800.00
5. 1- Photocom 2450 5000 watt 24 volt inverter 2000.00 2000.00
6. 12- L16 6volt batteries
7. 48- IBE 2 volt batteries (and 5 spares)
8. Battery interconnects
9. Solar interconnects

total for all $6,500 a fair price?
How do you know if batteries have enough life to make it worth hauling them 1,100 miles?

Call this place in Victorville CA

http://www.partsonsale.com/

Good prices....
These guys run a solar expo at the Pomona CA Fairgroungs each year.

I'd have to say your friends stuff is a little expensive for old stuff but ...I'm no expert

I would pay a little more for new.

I would say it sounds expensive also

this seems fliped around an a bit mixed up eh:

1. 8 ? Arco M-52 Tri-lams (24panels) watts 7 amps 300.00 ea 2400.00
2. 12 - Kyocera 100 watt 3 amps 100.00 ea 1200.00

check out www.mrsolar.com also.

How old is the stuff

you should offer 30-40% off new for the panels and 50-60% off new for the rest.

if the L-16's are more than 4-6 years old I would pass.

Hey Bus: Glad to see you back on Line;I may disagree with you Politicals but It does not make me No never mind!
As I said to Grover ,when I jusge People I judge their Actions. i would think that you would be a Worthy Opponent:

I am getting ready to have a SOLARMOUNT installation on the Home I am building in dos Palos, Calif..

Price is about $25,000 with the Calif. Govt. Granting about $15,000 back on the Renewable Program. through PG&E.
i am tring to go through the NET-METERING PROGRAM.
THE COMPANY JUST COMPLETED A MULTI-MILLION dOLLAR PROGRAM WITH THE CITYOF FRESNO CALIF.

It is not a Battery operated sustem. Give me your take on this type of system.

thanks Skeet/Loreto/
