China Trip

In 2007 we visited 14 solar module factories in China and found a thriving and ambitious industry. The quality control we found at 12 of the fourteen factories was acceptable, and it was a very hard decision to pick between the 4 companies that had what we considered excellent QC. The other factors that were important were the financial backing of a manufacturer that had to warranty panels for 20 years, ability to actually provide product flow, Research and Development division, technology and manufacturing innovation, and of course the workers working and living environment Main Admin building Solar Fun
