We cannot find a distributor that sells them at a reasonable price. We used to sell tons of the old US-64's, but last time we checked on the 68's we were told 3+ month lead times. I dislike the laminates and much prefer the framed modules.

Correction David.
Uni-Solar produces their product completely in the US with US labor and US materials. The Mexico plant was for framed module assembly and for cutting the laminates. They have stopped production of the framed modules but the cutting process is still in Tijuana.
Since Uni-Solar is the BEST high temperature, low light performance and shadow tolerant solar module available (it still outperforms all glass modules) AND it is made in the USA, it should be promoted. I certainly push them here in Arizona.
Sincerely,

GE makes their modules in China, and they are going out of module production completely soon.
Unisolar makes theirs in Mexico.
Schott brings the cells in from Germany made with silicon from europe
Sharp brings the cells in from Japan made with silicon from Japan
REC makes modules in Sweden from silicon made in the US

Jeff, off the top of my head- I think the new Schott modules are made in NM, Sharps are at least assembled in TN, and when these get UL listed, they will be made in FL (I think they're made somewhere else in the US until their factory is ready):

GE and Unisolar too, right? When the Applied Materials modules take off, I think we'll see a bunch of those modules made in the US as well, though not under the AM brand.

We are currently waiting on a stack of Evergreen modules (which are now very late to ship!) and we were getting ready to order another batch, so does this mean we should be looking into another supplier?
We try very hard to buy USA products, but that is getting harder and harder to do. It looks like its now just SolarWorld in California. What other module manufacturers are still actually making their modules in US and not importing from China.
