Here in NJ, the state is subsidizing solar panel enough to reduce the
payback period required for the investment. I have been considering
adding solar to my product line. I have found a large number of
distributors / manufacturers out there. It seems BP and GE are the main
suppliers of components... but there are A LOT of companies that package
and offer installation support.
Is there a source out there that I could get some sort of reviews on how
some of these companies have performed over the years? Many have dealer
agreements... but I want to do some more research before I start filling
out forms.

Try to contact a manufacturing company and deal with
them. we already have too many markups as we buy panels
from 6th generation dealers.

I would just ask them for references. Dealers you can call to ask
how they did. You would expect that they would only give you the
most favorable ones, but it might be a start.

First of all, you will almost certainly have to buy through a distributor,
since few - if any - manufacturers sell direct unless you are buying
container loads at a time.
Second, lots of luck in getting panels - with the current panel shortage,
most distributors are rationing out panels to their longest established
and/or largest purchasing dealers - and even many of those are not getting
all their orders filled.

Fucktard. You told me this last summer and I still
bought 1000 Watts of panels at $4 per watt on the east
coast of the US. The guy only had 10 skids of panels,
in that particulat Sharp model left. Many other were
available for a slightly higher price per watt.
Come back when you aren't trying to promote something
and can talk honestly.
Shortage? Only to the market jerks like you.
