[RE-wrenches] high efficiency modules in U.S.

[William Korthof]

These anti-solar tariffs are awful! 

What a horrible disappointment--- they won't revive a dead horse (domestic PV manufacturing already folded), BP already closed its solar division, Evergreen/Astropower/countless others already folded, they won't protect Solar World (which isn't even a US company)---- 
but they will hurt consumers: 
-drive solar businesses out of the marketplace and out of business 
-less competition and fewer options in the market = lower quality and higher prices 
-lack of product 
-lack of replacement product 
-aftermarket warranty support for solar will evaporate

I heard Canadian Solar prices are on the rise, and supply will be "tight and uncertain." Korean made panels were recommended as an alternative.​
