These are topcon modules only. Considering a 400W panel will have about 72 modules in it, that's only about 15 panels worth. Of course, then you have to actually build the panel and connect the modules, put it behind glass inside a frame, then put in a bypass diode and leads for connection. So an actual panel ends up being about 5-10X the cost of the modules per W.

You can pay a lot less than 10x for completed panels. https://store.santansolar.com/ amazed me.

does the link not work in 'murica?

The link doesn't work at all.

If they simply didn't want to sell to a certain demographic it would still load the website but would just say they don't operate in your region. The error you get back is once you get back if the domain doesn't exist.

Not sure what they did I searched the site and went to their clearance section but I don't know enough about panels and invertors to really know if they are actually good prices or anything. https://www.santansolar.com/product-category/sale/clearance/
