Hi, l've just ordered 2 x 200w panels off Low Energy Developments , they appear well regarded and they're prices are good too....

Yes Low Energy Developements. They are really really busy. If you purchase from them make certain they offer insurance as they use TNT express. I had 2 panels damaged on delivery. LED replaced with no hassles.

Agree , TNT would have to be the worst lve dealt with in regards to handling

I used tnt for 10 years with weekly deliveries and returns and rated them highly, not saying there was never problems but always sorted very quickly
cheers

To be fair lve only dealt with them a few times over the years , but their rate for lost / damaged goods wasn't great from my experience

I also am interested for a referral about solar panels. Also what do people recommend about the size,amount and wattage of panels needed. I have just bought a Toyota coaster. I am in Tassie but bus in Melb atm and I will be picking it up to bring in August. So want to buy over there and bring back in bus with me. Cheers

Hi
For mobile use it is not recommended to buy the bigger panels. More smaller panels usually works out best for a couple of reasons. So I suggest 80W panels are good or 100W if you are going for a lot of watts. More work in the wiring but there are good reasons, which you could find by googling on here or just reading the solar section threads. Fit as many watts up there as you can, forget the roof racks, just fit panels.
Be careful that you get panels that have a max power voltage of around 17+ to 18 V (for 12V) double up for 24V. No lower or they will not charge batteries well enough in poor conditions.

PS over the years I have bought panels off ebay in a free freight deal, and never had one broken !! Delivered to my door at a good total price, and all were good performing panels.
