LDK Solar Panels / Price question

[sedgy34]

We have sold a great deal of LDK and had very few problems - they are great panels for the price.

Unfortunately for the OP we would only sell them to installers, (or other distribution companies) for exactly the reasons stated throughout this thread. Being "trade only" also helps to protect our customers (installers), the industry as a whole, and therefore ultimately the end users interests in the long term.

I would be wary of any wholesaler who markets themselves as selling panels direct to the public.

read the posts back there is no wholesaler the op mentioned the words (aquire some panels)

Fair point Sedgy, but the post is still relevant to other posts in the thread. The OP also mentioned buying from "eBay and other sites".

just because he is buying on ebay doesn't mean he isn't buying from a VAT registered business!
Even from a private buyer somewhere down the line VAT will have been paid, always assuming the panels have at some stage been paid for of course!

"I am not a theif, no do i deal with stolen goods"


I don't think anyone was suggesting you were, but by following our advice you will avoid inadvertently getting into such a situation....

Theres nothing wrong with LDK but they are cheap for a reason, they have lost so much money in the last 6 months that I think they may struggle to survive, they are being taken to court in China by some of their suppliers for non payment of bills, they have to highest debt to equity ratio in the business and I fear they may have reached the point of self fulfilling prophecy where people are too scared to use them for fear of them disappearing. And generally all Chinese panels dont perform aswell as European/Japanese panels so you do get what you pay for.

nobody has suggested such a thing, but think about it as you could be the link between the theif and the guy who had the panels nicked from his premisses. thats if the panels you can buy cheaper are the ACTUAL stolen ones.
