Should be a number of suppliers around, I would have thought more of a problem to get the best price...

Jaycar have 80W monocrystalline panels for $449 ($429?) ea (part # ZM-9097). About 20 stores in NSW.

Also, Rainbow Power Co in Nimbin NSW have 85W Suntech for $630.

Solar Online Australia price is $579.

We have just purchased an 80 watt solar panel & regulator from Steve of Mandrakes Solar Power. We were happy with the price & his recomendations for our needs. He is out of stock at the moment but expects to deliver about mid January which is OK with us.

He is more than helpful with advise & responds to queries very promptly which we appreciate. I intend to annoy him a little further with a few more questions about Solar panels as soon as he has recovered from the Christmas break. LOL

I intend fitting it myself to our Pop Top & have been doing a bit of research on this & other Forums about how to do it correctly. If you are interested, there is some good info (IMO) on EO thread #64295 worth looking at, but would suggest that you widen your research to other Forums in order to gain a balanced & more accurate view on the "best" method.

If anybody out there has any comments/ideas relating to the "best" way to fit an 80W panel to a Pop Top it would be good to hear what you have to say.

Thanks & Hoo Roo
