[RE-wrenches] Canadian Solar modules

[Bill Brooks]

Marco and Joel,

 

In the latest version of the Expedited Permit Process, I was required to
remove references to real manufacturers in my example problem. I made up a
company called "American Solar" in true Canadian Solar style. It is really a
shortened version of the company "American Solar Systems", which inevitably
would be shortened to the obvious acronym to give credit where credit is
due...

 

Bill.

"Canadian" Solar modules are most definitely made in China.

 

I guess they couldn't get away with branding "American Solar" and probably
didn't want "Mexican Solar." Heck, everyone likes Canadians. The "Strong
frame" is not very rigid and flexes too much like most Chinese modules.

Holt, 

No experience with them, but I believe they are made in China. The whole
misnomer of "Canadian Solar" is enough to turn me off to them.

Greatly valuing the opinions of all who participate on this list, I was
wondering if anyone has had experience with Canadian Solar modules. Am
bidding a 42kw system for local community college, so budgets are tight and
this line of modules fits the budgetary profile. Sharing pros or cons would
be greatly appreciated.
