Fry's Sells Solar Panels? Sweet!

I was in Fry's today (ah, to be back in Dallas…) buying a graphics card for my wife's computer, and all of the sudden I pass by these large boxes of solar panels.  Solar panels!  At Fry's?  That is absolutely fantastic.  If there is anyone around the DFW Metroplex who would carry them, I would figure it would be Fry's.

They had some 40w, 60, 70, and 80w models – between around 2X4 and a larger one (the 80w model) that looked to be around 2X6.  Also, a 400w wind power generator!

I snapped a few iPhone pics.  This might not be terribly exciting to you, but if you're in reach of a Fry's, you could have a solar panel (or five!) for home use.

    This is one store that I wish we had in Connecticut. That is awesome though that a major retailer is carrying these things… it's still working it's way up north to the other big stores up here.
