I'm considering ordering solar panels from Alibaba for my 25kW system, but I'm a bit unsure about the process. I've read that you should use trade assurance and stick to vendors who have been in business for at least two years. However, I find some pricing confusing—like seeing a price of 28 cents for a solar panel, which doesn't seem realistic.
I'm looking for any guides or tips on successfully using Alibaba for solar equipment. My plan is to get all the materials through Alibaba and hire a local electrician for installation. If Alibaba isn't a good option, what should I expect regarding costs for a 25kW system? My energy company restricts net metering to that size, and since I mine crypto, I'm constantly using power. Selling back to the grid pays only 3 cents, making it more profitable for me to generate my own power, though my current energy rate is 23 cents. Also, I don't have to worry about permits or HOA regulations where I live.

I've ordered 18kW worth of panels, along with dual-axis trackers and inverters from three different vendors on Alibaba. Just a heads up, they usually prefer payments via money transfer to avoid Alibaba's fees. I went with verified vendors and had no issues whatsoever!
Could you share the links to those sellers? I'm struggling to find reputable ones on Alibaba!
