Where to buy solar panels - *just* the panels?

Question

I want to buy some 'standard' domestic size solar panels and it's turning out to be really difficult.

I don't want an installation (they're not going 'on grid') I just want a couple (maybe more) panels and I'll be providing the electronics etc. I already have a three panel installation on my boat and that has been working well fo several years and I'm wanting to do something similar on land.

Ideally I'm after a supplier in/around Ipswich so transport costs are minimised but that's not so important as getting good quality panels at a reasonable price.

Solar panels appear to be a bit like double glazing mixed up with USB sticks, hard sell and exaggerated claims! :-)

So if anyone can recommend a good supplier or two I'd be very grateful.

Is Cambridge OK (right next to the A14 J28, satnav says 1 hour to Ipswich)? They'll let you collect, but you have to book an appointment (they are

*really* busy, and basically ran out of capacity to shift product through their warehouse. And that was before the current crisis)

I've not used them, but prices seem competitive (ex VAT):

Thank you, that's a good start anyway, cheaper than I've foundelsewhere.

Strange name. Anything called Midsummer reminds me of that TV series where they  seem to have a crime wave and murder rate far above the national average. Brian

At least you can avoid visiting Midsomer but you never know where Jessica Fletcher is going to turn up :)

There's no point in visiting Midsomer, it's a ghost  village :-)
