Whoops! Careful with Solectria Kirk. Their LARGE inverters, 13kW and up, are made in Mass. Their smaller residential inverters, 5kW thru 3kW are made in Taiwan, and the 2.5 and 1.8KW units are made in eastern Europe.

PV Powered inverters are US made also. Modules? SolarWorld is US made. Uni-Solar is US made. The Evergreen modules sold in the US are made in the US. (German production stays in Europe pretty much) Sharp produces wafers only in Japan. All subsequent printing, tabbing, and assembly is done in Tennessee. (EXCEPT 80, 123, & 130 watt modules. The only Sharp modules with J-boxes anymore.)

Panels are a mixed bag - even the US ones I don't think are 100% made in USA. ............................................................................ ......................
