I ha had 6 wholesale suppliers at that time. In the mid 90's the Europeans started buying up the companies in the US, I lost all but 2 suppliers and my friends there say they are continually being offer large sums to sell. The US has never offered any tax credit (big oil) but some states have good programs, Illinois being one, 50% I think, on everything but batteries. It is odd that the first really good panels were made by an oil company, ARCO, ha Atlantic ha Richfield. They were bought up by Siemens, again the forward looking Europeans. I was paying 226.00 for an ARCO 50 watt panel in 1986 and $255 in 2003, the prices have really fallen a great deal Europe must have very high electrical cost or very good credits for a huge % of world solar production is going there. If I order panels today I can expect delivery for 2 to 3 months instead of 2 to 3 days and then must sign an affidavit that I will not resell or send the panels to Europe.
