Wrenches,
Aside from the fact that Chinese solar cells are being assembled all over 
the world into modules with varying degrees of quality, what specific 
Chinese brand solar modules do you use based on them meeting their stated 
physical and electrical specifications, construction, durability, blems, 
delamination, price, availability, distributor service, etc.?

Chinese Solar Production and Capacity
Despite only having 140MW of solar projects installed, China was the leading 
manufacturer of solar cells in 2008, with 30% of global production. In 2008, 
China produced 2GW of solar cells, up from 1GW in 2007. In addition to 
producing PV cells, Chinese companies have produced 3GW of modules, up from 
1.7GW in 2007, and 13,000MT of Wafers, up from 11,800MT in 2007.
