Allowing silicon to be reduced by 60% + making the solarcells much cheaper. They have technology to watch, they can produce thin silicon from water baths.

It has simply been cheaper to build panels overseas because of manufacturing incentives there. What we need here are similar incentives like we already have for solar power production.

To me if they are taking the work of manufacturing to other countries, then they realy aren't american manufacturers , they are foriegn, and taking work away from the american public that is so much needed at this time and again making us a service country and not a producing one I am more interested in how many manufacturing companies in the U.s. are actualy making panels and the needed equipment for them in the states and not abroad.

I agree it's a topic we should cover. Polysilicon has had a history of being in short supply, and this in turn affects the number of manufacturers out there. Look out for an upcoming post on this very subject! You make a great point, Fred. I agree it’s a topic we should cover.

No one ever speaks of them and where they are located. Do you have any information on these companies? Your response would be most helpful and greatly appreciated.
