Hi All,

At the Energy Outfitters Tech Seminar in March, the salesman from 
Isofoton was there and mentioned the European PV market situation. 
The upcoming (now here) shortage was one of the reasons they thought 
they might do well in the American Market as they say they can 
deliver consistently in the coming months.  Nice panels (single 
crystal) - and a good independent company - check them out if you 
haven't already.    EO is distributing them.

And last I spoke to Evergreen they had plenty of  product - is that 
still the case?  Anyone know of their supply situation?  Kyocera?

>Fellow Wrenches,
>I have been hearing regular rumors about impending shortages of PV modules.
>So far, I haven't experienced it directly. I'm writing for more info, to
>probably benefit all of us. So:
>1. What definitive information do we have about shortages of PV modules?
>2. Specific brands? Sizes?
>3. Anticipated dates? Has anyone been unable to secure desired modules
>already?
>4. What are the reasons given for impending shortages? I have heard overseas
>demand, declining exchange rate for American dollars--what else?
>5. What are you telling your customers in anticipation of shortages?
>
>I woul like to minimize rumor and hype, which sometimes feeds on itself. At
>the same time, I'd like to be able to plan accordingly and keep my customers
>informed.
>
>Thank you for good information
