I’ll give you an example: The panel I’m chasing is 200W, and I know that a 200W panel should be 1580mm long, by 808mm wide. Now, I jump on eBay, and I flick through the results, and open a few different options up. ...
12V mono solar panels with a cell efficiency of around 17- 20% should be roughly 0.0064m2 per watt. If there is a substantial variance from that, you are being misled. With that in mind, here’s roughly the sizes you should be looking at: 80W panel = 0.51m2 100W panel = 0.64m2 120W panel = 0.77m2 150W panel = 0.96m2 160W panel = 1.02m2 200W panel = ...
Unfortunately, the false advertising doesn’t stop there. The next most common false advertising for 12V solar panels relates to the type of regulator used, and advertised.

StraightOuttaMaine. •. I normally have no problems buying from 0 feedback sellers, eBay's protection is heavily in the buyer's favor.
