Changes to SunOneness Solar's Business Plans
We did our best to buy Made in America Solar Panels in 2010.
With the reduction of our Solar Rebates from Xcel we are now looking at installing Chinese Solar Panels.
SunOneness Solar feels that we have our backs against the wall with the short sightedness of our USA political policies.
Evergreen Solar was one of our suppliers of panels and this Q1 2011 is Evergreen's final quarter for manufacturing in the USA has arrived.
Our Government policy makers have done nothing to assist with keeping our jobs here in the USA and now we will follow suite of our competitors and buy panels from China.
If we find favorable pricing for any panels that are made in the USA we will consider them. We are buying SMA-America Inverters that are manufactured in Denver Colorado.
We also will most likely be dropping our installation warrantee to 5 years to keep competitive.
We will continue to install all systems with PV Monitoring.
We have had a 2% lowering in our panel prices in from Q1 2010 to Q1 2011. If you are hearing larger declines we have not observed this. We are expecting a 10% decline by the end of 2011.
We will continue to try and sell Mage Solar Panels (Made in the USA) with their highest in the industry warrantee at 30 years and we are hoping that they can compete with China's pricing in 2011. SunOneness Solar feels that a $1000 per system more for these panels is worth the quality.
Employing Americans is really in your hands and we will continue to offer Solar at the lowest cost.
Evergreen's Pricing is expected to drop their Chinese made panels by about $0.40 to $0.50 a watt.
SunOneness Solar is looking at options to get pricing down to $4 a watt for 2012.
