I have no doubt that there are many honest ebay suppliers out there, including those already mentioned in this thread, whose panels will perform in accordance with their labelled specs.. I have a few such panels..
However, there is one supplier in particular (that we know about) who is known to have been supplying mis-labelled panels.. (e.g. 130W panel labelled and sold as 200W)
How do I know this? .. First hand experience!
I also know that there are other users of this and other forums with similar experiences with the same supplier..
* "The big question is how many users have any idea just what current they get from their panel." *
This is the pertinent question, and I suspect is the reason why this particular supplier has apparently been able to get away with what can only be described as FRAUD!
It's all very
well if one knows what to expect, and has the means to measure the panel's output, which, if/when found to be not what is printed on the label, then said supplier is very apologetic, and gives the impression of being keen to "make good", but this scenario has been played out far too many times for it to be an "honest mistake"...
It's not the panels that are the problem, it's the mis-labelling that's the problem...
Who knows how many buyers simply trust what is printed on the label, and have no idea that they've been "had" by this particular supplier?
As the old saying goes... CAVEAT EMPTOR!
