<DIV><BR>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? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
