Item: 6 x Blue Carbon 160W 32-cell 17v 9A Poly-crystalline Solar Panels for cheap
Age: Brand New, unused
Price:R4,800 R4,400 R4,000 R3,500 for the lot (works out to R800 R733 R666 R584 each)
Payment Method Accepted: Cash / EFT / Geo
Warranty: 1 month from me, for you to test.
Packaging: They are in the original boxes
Condition: Brand new, excellent, unused
Location: Lenasia, JHB
Reason: Not needed
Shipping: No, they are bulky and too risky to entrust to 3rd parties
Collection: Yes
I bought 6 x 500W / 1000Wh 12V Blue Carbon lithium inverter/UPS all-in-one units in 2023, and these panels came with for free. I have no use for the panels. I'm powering the backup units using the grid without the need for solar.
These are made by Blue Carbon. They come 2 panels per box. So 3 boxes in total. Here are the important specs as per the local supplier:
160W Poly Solar Panel
17V
9A output
32 cells
6 panels can be strung together in series to give 102v @ 9A.
The panels have barcodes on them, which appear to be serial numbers or lot numbers, as follows:
BCT-D-M2022121700027
BCT-D-M202212170016
BCT-D-M2022121700038
BCT-D-M2022121700023
BCT-M-12M2023060100058
BCT-M-12M2023060100117
I believe you would hook these up (if used individually) to a 12V charge controller, to charge 12V batteries. The inverter/UPS units also use 12V power supplies connected to mains, to charge the batteries. These seem to be good for DIY / enthusiasts who know what they are doing.

There is a range of Blue Carbon stuff being sold on Takealot: Takealot.
The 6 x UPS's I bought, that these panels came with, have all been excellent thus far, so I would assume the panels are good too. The UPS's are being used inside rackmount network cabinets to provide 4-6 hours of backup power for load-shedding.
