Our renewable systems have components from all over the world. The battery racks are from Italy, the breakers are from South Africa. The breaker boxes and battery cables are Made in the USA. We strongly support American businesses whenever possible. "
If you think these products are expensive, just imagine how much more you would pay if the parts were manufactured on site... the value chain just doesn't exist that way for these types of products any more. The NIMBY crowd has regulated these "toxic" industrial processes overseas. To manufacture the whole thing in America would easily double the price.

These are getting cheaper in China now.
