Also why is it that panels are so cheap off the pallet? I'm seeing a lot on the sites you mentioned whereas they're much pricier ordering online.

  1. Because they are bought in bulk (by the pallet) and delivered at freight rates. It's common for folks who need a lot of them to buy a pallet, take what they need, then sell the rest.
  2. because they are leftovers after a job
  3. the really cheap ones (like mine) are commercial or residential pulls Cf. WIll Prowse' $50 250w pulls
