Could you confirm the weights of the PV panels? 25kg for the 60W panel seems high!

I think Ivan has mentioned elsewhere that the weight indication, on all items  ,is just for shipping categorization.  It is not the actual weight.  I'm taking delivery of qty 2 110w panels in a day or so.   I'll weigh them for you and advise.  Cheers Mickey

Absolutely right. The weight on the online shop is purely arbitary to ensure that shipping/packaging/insurance costs are correctly accounted for. It is not perfect, and I often correct the shipping cost DOWNWARDS on online orders, but it works pretty well on the whole.

The weight of the 110W panels is probably around 8-10kg each, and the others are proportional in weight. Let us know when you weigh one, and we'll see how close I am!

According to my bathroom scales the 110w panel weighs 11.40Kg

Good luck  Mickey
