   Good point! I never tried reaching out to Solbian directly — I thought they only sold via local dealers…

	I’ve bought panels directly through Solbian twice. You can get them customized my way you want. The second time, earlier this year, I had to pay the 10% tariff to DHL before they would deliver them.

	great information , thanks ! I also dealt directly with solbian. but I confirm that 150W panels were indeed about 1000 eur in 2021..so the price difference may be there indeed. They could customise , obviously an important added value... Edited by Pzucchel - 08 January 2026 at 18:38

	My dealings with Solbian were in 2021. I have no idea what the tariff or price hikes have done to the economics. My GUESS is that most of the panels are made outside of the US, so its likely not good for those in the US, probably tolerable in other countries.
