[RE-wrenches] Recycling and Disposing of Modules

[Nick Soleil]

Hi Randy:
    You bring up a good point about recycling.  I have replaced a few hundred modules under warranty, and they are starting to back up.  I don't really know a good way to dispose of them?

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Made in USA modules

 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.
