Kelly
Thanks very much for your article . Build in America has become a shady declaration from many and creates I fair competition for whom really invest in this country . I would strongly recommend you do the same analysis for solar inverter and solar / charger inverter . Not only the market has no way to weed the fake one but there is a bias UL certification system in place allowing the system to be UL certified in Asia cheaper and with many short cuts as opposed to our inland rigid and expensive certification process .

Hi Kelley, thank you for the article. It is very hard for any company to follow up all the BS created by solar manufacturers. I actually fly to the plant site to visit and many times find nothing. You do a great professional job and have been a dedicated solar advocate. Keep it up you are still young.

The success of American make solar panels will depend on its cost and financial support from government. The P2P and P2U sale by prosumers is not much appreciated by utilities as the the unit cost refund is very nominal . Further the supply from utilities is very reliable as such individual consumers may not feel the necessity.

They should label “Assembled in USA” because all key components are made in China and most players are Chinese or partnered with Chinese companies

Please tell us about First Solar and their plants in Ohio. Also, are there any companies manufacturing solar peripherals in the US as well? Like Enphase?
Great article!

What about Longi? We sponsored the Solar Games to make sure everyone knew about our joint venture 3GW (5GW in 2025) factory with Invenergy in Ohio!
