Best I can find is $1.39 per watt, $2.11 per watt in the seller's size here Buy Solar Panels - Kyocera, Mitsubishi, Sanyo, Sharp, REC Solar and More!

Might help the OP in determining a selling price.

Still over $2/watt for similar sized Kyocera.

I sure wish I could fit a 240 watt panel.

You will learn like I did that there is a difference. I have a 20 yo Siemens panel that's still going strong. I have a 4 yo Ramsond panel that's not doing so hot. The way the cells are handled during assembly and encapsulation has a big impact on their useful life.

This is not a thread to discuss the merits of various panel brands. It is an item for sale thread. Seller is selling a Kyocera panel, so remarks about what brand people should be buying are boorish and irrelevant.

Re: 135 Watt Solar Panels New/Never Used – Only 3 Available Now

Hi, Bill, I realize none of us know what others are really going through, nor do we know how others might be in the same situation. You're right, not a single day since he's been gone has yet to be easy, but I keep plowin' through, doing what I hope to be the right thing, by him as well as by others. Thank you so much for your kindness.
