Where to buy X22-360 Sunpower PV Panels in Belize

I’m in Belize, planning on installing 2-360w Sunpower PV panels on a friends boat. I have used them on my past and current boat in Florida with great success.
Can I buy these panels in Belize?
I’m also going to need two 100-30 Victron mppt controllers also.
Thanks

I would avoid buying or importing anything in/into Belize. I suggest doing what everyone else does...go to the Rio Dulce. There are shops in Guatemala which sell solar stuff and importation is way easier and WAY cheaper (BZ duties are very high).

I'd listen to the local advice.

They are available on eBay but a lot of eBay sellers are particular as to what country they will post to.

Thanks for the prompt reply's.
I have talked to a local source and found that Peter is glass in Spanish lookout sells a 350 W panel for $275 US. I'm not sure of the quality but the price really sounds good. We'll check that out next week

Aggregates in Belmophan has a lot of various size panels, regulators and such. There is also a place called ProSolar close to the shell station, little more pricey but they have everything. Closer than Spanish Lookout.

Kendo, that’s the kind of answer I was looking for. I will check aggregates out the next time we’re in town.
Thanks
