Many companies are selling solar panels in your area. Recently I have contact one such company called Kingtec Solar (http://kingtecsolar.com/contact/) and very happy with the service and support they provided.

Like Dave said here, the idea is really great, but we cannot be dependent on this product. If the sun is not there for days, it would be very difficult to cook. I'm not interested in using it as a seasonal product, still I would to know more about it.

because of overseas companies basically "dumping" panels into the U.S. markets. Does anyone have opinions on whether it would be a good idea to purchase enough panels now to
serve a cob home I want to build in 1-2 years and store them until I need them? How do you calculate how many panels I would need anyway? Thanks for any input from those more
insightful about solar than I.



Hi Roger

It is true that the cost of panels have dropped recently. But I don't think it would be a good idea to purchase enough panels now for the future use. In the coming years, you can expect more reduction in the price. Only an expert, after visiting the site can tell you the exact number of panels required by you.
