so the blemished ones still output full power just the panels have a issue ?

if so how much am i looking at for a 500 watt setup with panels and everything to run?

i also have a small 2 12V battery bank i use right now

The blemished panels with dings put out full power + or - 10% (So at least 90% of their rated power). ~500 watts (could be a few watts more or less depending on the exact wattage of panels I have available when I ship them) is ~$260 (exact price depends on the exact watts and shipping and handling costs) delivered to the zip code you gave me as of last week when fed ex gave me their shipping prices.

For liability reasons I don't spec systems for customers, that I'm not personally installing. It's going to be up to you, to select and use components, safely and in conformance with whatever your local regulations are. I have no idea whether the panels I send you are acceptable for connection to your local utility grid or for use on your property. Making those determinations are up to you. The panels I sell were inspected to UL 1703 and Inverters that I sell were inspected to UL 1741. All of the panels I sell are acceptable for use in my jurisdiction, both grid tied and off grid. Used equipment might not be in compliance with current rules and regulations of some jurisdictions. Solar panels generate electricity, which can be lethal if handled improperly.

Bottom line: if you're playing with electricity, be sure you know how to do it safely.

And that's the end of my safety speech. So if you want some panels let me know.
