Hi Dana, I know Bruce Schwab at OceanPlanet Energy brings them over:
https://oceanplanetenergy.com/solar-power/ I think he might be the master distributor for the US and will likely be able to give you a trade discount. Finally, for full disclosure here, we do business with all the companies I've mentioned in this thread, save Renogy, but we do so because I believe they offer top-notch products and/or service that help our customers have a good experience with their systems overall. Like many of you, we typically get the call when anything goes wrong in the system, even if it has nothing to do with the controller (i.e., panels, wiring, fuses), so we have the same motivation to choose good partners.
