Guys and gals,
Be nice to your local VW dealer, talk about the new T5 a bit, ooh and aah
over the W12 in the new SUV, and they will likely GIVE you a panel or two.
I have five already, and more on the way (trying to build an array that will
provide usable power beyond trickle charging).
According to this dealer, VW is having them throw the panels away, or give
to the customer if the customer wants it.
tx,
bmc  :)
