Hi

I want to buy around 10 panels new panels for a system in Ghana as the existing panels have been damaged. What are peoples thoughts on these panels? Are they good or could I get better value for money on another product.

Thanks

    Are you buying from Ghana or are you going to buy and export the panels yourself from the UK?


    It makes a difference when it comes to VAT as to where you're buying from and how much value for money you'll get.

    Hi,

    I'm buying here and shipping to Ghana myself.

    Could you buy them from Ghana? Overseas purchasers don't normally have to pay UK VAT, a nice saving of 20% if you can make it possible.
