Hi Randy:
You bring up a good point about recycling. I have replaced a few hundred
modules under warranty, and they are starting to back up. I don't really know
a good way to dispose of them?

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Made in USA modules
Silicon Energy (www.silicon-energy.com, 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.
