family liquidated a solar company - now I’m sitting on pallets of SolarEdge equipment 😂

A family member acquired a huge amount of brand new SolarEdge inventory from a company liquidation and now I’m helping move it all.
We’re talking:
Inverters
Optimizers
Panels
Racking
Electrical material
Random solar accessories I’m still trying to figure out myself
At this point my life has become forklifts, pallets, and explaining to people why my warehouse suddenly looks like a solar distributor.

If you’re an installer, contractor, or know someone looking for SolarEdge equipment, shoot me a message. Happy to send inventory/photos/details.

DIY’ing from Ebay

Anybody have experience with buying from eBay? What should I look out for.

Positive seller reccomendations or perhaps posts that look legit would be great.

I’m always so anxious I’m going to be scammed.

Would you install solar if you could buy the equipment at ~$1.50/W?

I know absolutely nothing about solar, so figured I’d ask people who do.

A friend of mine liquidated a solar company and has a bunch of leftover brand new equipment. He offered to let me buy everything for around $1.50/watt and I’m trying to figure out if that’s actually a good deal or not.

The equipment is mostly:

  • SolarEdge inverters
  • 410W panels
  • Optimizers
  • Mounting/racking hardware

This would be for a residential setup in Texas.

A few probably dumb questions:

  • Is $1.50/watt for materials considered cheap/good?
  • Does that number even matter if install/labor/permitting ends up killing the deal?
  • Is buying liquidated inventory risky?
  • What should I check before buying?
  • If you were starting from scratch, would you do this?

I’m not trying to become a solar dealer or anything - just wondering if this is genuinely a great opportunity or if I’m getting excited over something that isn’t actually special.

Appreciate any advice because I’m completely new to this world.
