Hello, 

 

We are having our solar system replaced with a newer/larger one and as a result have the complete old one (ie 18 panels and a 5kw inverter) which we are keen to see if someone might want to repurpose it. 

 

Do people have any opinions on the best place to list this for sale in order to get this in front of someone who might be keen? I was thinking of Trademe or some other FB marketplace group or something. Any recommendations? 

 

Thanks in advance

Where are you located?

 

How old is the system?
What is the wattage of the panels?

 

You could try this Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/559849624740086

Sorry good point. Am based in Auckland

 

System is 12 years old; so panels are 240w Schuco panels (with a Schuco/SB 5kw inverter). Still has been generating fine (literally switched off today), just wanting more :D 

 

Thanks for the recommendation on the group.

Well - I have thrown it into an auction on trademe - https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/home-living/outdoor-garden-conservatory/other/listing/5208840384 

 

Hopefully at the price point (starting at $100) it will get repurposed for someone to get some free power from it :)

Outdoor / Garden / Conservatory equipment? Seems like a strange category for electrical equipment.
