How to judge a Black Friday price
- Compare against the dated baseline above, not the "was" price on the banner.
- Check that the sale is on the same model and version (e.g. v2, Plus).
- Check that bundled solar panels are a size you will use.
- Buy from the brand's official store or authorised seller for local warranty.
- Size it first with the runtime calculator.
