I've just come across what might be the most cost-effective solar panels in New Zealand in terms of price per watt. This could be particularly useful for those in rural areas. For instance, I recently set up a neighbor's garden watering pump using one of these panels, and the results were impressive.  Here are the details:

 

  • 440W Bifacial Solar Panel - All Black, Mono N-Type:
  • Location: Stock available in the North Island
  • Link: 440W Solar Panel

 

 

  • 445W Bifacial Solar Panel - All Black, Mono N-Type:
  • Location: Stock available in the South Island
  • Link: 445W Solar Panel

They are made by Ulica Solar and claim 85% after 30 years with a 22% efficiency

Hi @Dreamerz - appreciate any thoughts now we’re a few months on. Performing to spec? Thanks

 

For future ref they’re now offering:

 

Ulica 450W $149 (‘April Deal’) - these, or the 440W, dropped as low as $135 a few weeks back 

 

Ulica 580W $199 (‘Super Deal’)

 

Deye 440W $199

I got one but have only had the need to use it a couple of times. 
Works well enough to charge our Bluetti portable battery generator. 

I see MicroMall has JA Solar panels for less and that’s a more well known brand, even if a budget brand.
