We have our first order in for Helios 250 watt modules. I have been reticent to sell Chinese modules while my surrounding competition is selling them regularly. I am not against the principle of a world market, but I do not like the lack of environmental regulation in many countries. It does seem that Helios are truly made in America. We sized a very large off grid system with 1SolTech modules as well, but the customer did not go aheadwith the installation. I dealt directly with them in Texas, but never got confirmation that they are made completely in America. Thatdoesn't mean they aren't, just that I didn't ask for confirmation....my bad.... I am currently designing a 500 kw system using Helios modules. Our first (previously mentioned) installation using them will be in late August-early Sept. and will comment more then.
