Solar panels - supplier?

[Grehan]

I'm looking for a supplier for a couple of 40w solar panels.
One offering best value*. (* almost certainly a euphemism for Cheapest).

UK or France, or ready willing and able to deliver to UK or France.

Suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.


[and yes, sorry, I have posted this in more than one place . . ]

I see you're in Oxfordshire.

Pop up to X-Country Caravans - top of Shillingford Bridge on the Thames - and see what they can do for you (ask for Chris).

I purchased mine through Barden batteries southamppton - best price and good advice on regulators, type of panels, installation etc.

Thanks and £££

Thanks folks.

I know Shillingford well and have bought there. Only problem, I'm currently in central France and back in UK only briefly in a couple of weeks time . .

Barden's website does not give prices, which is a bit unhelpful since most suppliers sites do.

Hi I don't know where you are in Central France.....I am in the Pays de Gex, not far from the swiss border. Across the border in Geneva I found Helios 50 watt panels which are rigid with aluminium frames for 599 swiss francs....thats about 240 pounds....by far the best value I've seen anywhere. I got two in the Jumbo mega-store in Meyrin, a northern suburb of Geneva. The first I put on my cat down in Greece last season and it worked very well, so I got another one.
Hope that helps......R
