Have recently locked in our Solar Panels - we went with the Solarshop and Kaneka Hybrid panels out of Japan. Cost to us is $6000 - thats after rebates and a pretty good show special (QLD Home show is on) - I did a bit of searching around on them and did not find any bad comments about them. Denise ...

Congratulations on your purchase, what sized system did you get? Regards, Darren.

I think it looks fantastic but as said previously you wouldneed the right entry to your house for it to work. If you do get the panther I would reccomend installing a downlight to shine on the panther Cheers.
