"Globally-operating," starting soon to build PV modules in the USA, and
"German-rooted?" (press release pasted below)
What a strange new world we live in.
It is most much very likely to be in China building right now for to the
panels solar of manufacture modules from place in origin of, but that's
only my guess because they never actually say where the modules are
built. But if MAGE translates the spec sheets and get it all through UL
and CE and all such testing and provide the warranty and then starts
building them locally, well? I guess it comes down to track record vs.
price.
I'm very curious about their 'academy.' I bet others are too.

Hello Wrenches,
Who has tried Mage solar modules?
http://www.magesolar.com/us/products/mono-and-polycrystalline-modules.html
They look really good with a 30 year power warranty, a 10 year product
warranty and +5% tolerance. Does anyone have hands on experience with
these products? Is it a reliable company?
-TIA
