There are many rumors out there regarding the production of thin film solar panels designed for metal roofs and most of the rumors are GOOD! Like the fact that they can combine with Metal Roofing to give you a 30% tax credit on the ENTIRE integrated system.

The one issue that I’ve seen come up, is people questioning: “Where is This Stuff Made??” Is it another product of China or is this a real American revolutionary product made here and installed here?!

The answer comes from Uni-Solar’s website and the fact is…Thin Film Solar is America Made! (and so is the metal roofing) See below:
