[RE-wrenches] Picking a Quality Chinese PV Module

[Bob-O Schultze]

Peter-
Don't use Xantrex at all for that very reason. Don't have any of the smart phones you mention, but you are correct that I do own some Chinese made goods. It is unavoidable these days but I try -and I feel it's the correct thing to do- to buy things with an eye toward was is good (or at least not harmful) to my country and, if possible, the planet. In any event, experimenting on my clients with a new product from a Chinese manufacturer is something I will not do.
Good Luck, Bob-O

Your iPhone/Blackberry/Droid was mfgd in China, so was your flat panel
monitor (no, not your TV, your PC monitor), so was your Xantrex inverter,
virtually every printed circuit board in every piece of electronics you own.
Our only hope as a country is to be the best in engineering and stay that
way. Love has nothing to do with it.

If you like buying your oil from the Mideast and think that's a good idea,
then you will love buying your PV from China.
