Silicon Energy (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.silicon-energy.com">www.silicon-energy.com</a>, a subsidiary of OutBack Power) makes PV modules in WA state and recently got their UL listing. Although they are premium priced for made-in-WA RE incentives, and are different from standard framed modules, they are now available. I helped install a test array and they are well thought out from an installation and future recycling standpoint.<div><br></div><div><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><p style="margin: 0px;"><font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight:
