[RE-wrenches] Made in USA modules

[Randy Brooks]

Silicon Energy (www.silicon-energy.com, a subsidiary of OutBack  
Power) makes PV modules in WA state and recently got their UL  
listing.  Although they are premium priced for made-in-WA RE  
incentives, and are different from standard framed modules, they are  
now available.  I helped install a test array and they are well  
thought out from an installation and future recycling standpoint.
