I've purchased solar panels multiple times from Hightech solar through their eBay store and have always had great experiences.
Recently, an order placed on Nov 29th, 2025 was placed for 6 of their 215W panels. The order was received on Dec 9th.
After installing all 6 panels, one of them was found to be defective. After a call with their manager Fred, he had me doing some testing on this panel to see if it was in fact the panel itself as the problem, or the circuit board. Together, we confirmed it was a bad panel only pushing out 11.75v.
On Jan 14th, 2026, after the above testing confirmed a bad panel, Fred acknowledged the bad panel that I received...read full review
I have been a customer of Hitech Solar for a couple years, the first panels i bought were 200 watt Rv panels, the test sheet showed them to put out 220 watts. I I have been getting closer to 235 watts from, very happy with these panels. I recently purchased a panel for my home use, the panel i purchased was tested at 325 watts, with a Victron mppt controller I am getting 362 watts in full sunlight! Both my camper and home have mppt charge controllers. I am very pleased with my Hitech Solar Panels, they were wonderful to work with and know more about solar power then anyone I have met. Very easy to work with. Hitech Solar is the only place I will buy from, I feel lucky...read full review
I purchased (2) of the 200 watt panels for my RV. I can't say enough about the performance of the panels and more importantly the great customer service from Jesse. When my panels arrived the end of the cardboard was a little beat up from shipping. It turns out one of the panels had a little bend in it. I chatted with Jesse and he suggested they replace the panel. I happen to be driving by their shop the following week and decided to exchange this in person. Jesse even helped lift the panel to the roof of my motorhome. I appreciate the great customer service.
