[RE-wrenches] modules

[Brian Teitelbaum]

Suniva has some limited module production capacity in Georgia, so not all of their modules are assembled in Taiwan. You just have to specify that you want all US-made modules when you order them.

I don't know if Silicon Energy in Washington State makes their own cells there or not, but might be worth contacting. I also don't know if Helios in Milwaukee makes their own cells.

REC mines and refines the silicon here, but the cells are made in Singapore. Sharp is still making modules here, but the cells are made in Japan.

It is getting to be pretty thin pickings.

Suniva cells made in Georgia, modules made in China.  Have been qualified ARRA compliant...which means nothing of course since anyone signing onto any trade agreement with the US is exempt from it, including Tiawan ( that is why most cells are made there "officially")
