I just wrote this ad. Let me know what you think.

China, is now about the only source on the planet for small 12 volt modules with or without Chinese cells. We’re lucky they’re still around. The Chinese and American PV industry and consumers really got hurt by our  Department of Commerce’s decision to put a 250% tariff on imported Chinese cells.  Almost two hundred factories are now bankrupt, tens of thousands of Americans and Chinese have lost their jobs. Luckily you can still find fairly priced small modules, at least for awhile. Your 98¢/Watt pricing below is pretty good considering a Solar World or a Kyocera small  12 volt module sells for more than $2.00/Watt.

The 68¢/watt Sharp 250 B deal wasn’t easy to come by. It’s a pretty good price as well, considering a normal Sharp 250’s average discount price is  $1.35/watt (Wholesale Solar price.)

We never gave up on getting a good deal out of Sharp Solar, it took approx.  5 years to get it. In fact all of the people we originally worked with, don’t even work there anymore. 

Back to the Department of Commerce. You know it’s funny but were you aware that Helios, Suniva, and Sunpower, are the only significant crystalline PV module manufacturers left in the U.S. ? (Kyocera and Sharp are Japanese and, as incredible as it is, Solar World is German, so you can’t count any of them.) The bottom line however, is these are good solid companies and hopefully the governments, in all  countries, will wake up and give the same  general support the Chinese Government gives to its PV manufacturing industry. At the least, the U.S. Government should offer it’s PV manufacturers the same value of help in the form of  incentives and subsidies it gives to the oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy industry. Is there any reason why not?

What the Department of Commerce did to the Chinese PV industry was just plain gutless and ignorant or very suspicious. It hurt nearly everyone in the industry and helped a select few U.S. owned PV manufacturers, 3 to be exact. Instead of reacting with the carrot (cooperation with China to even the field) they just took out a club and beat them to death.

A perfect example of what should have been done is in Japan.  Japan’s PV factories are getting the right kind of solution.  Intelligent and positive government and support.  The people overwhelmingly demanded clean solar electricity over nuclear after their utility’s nuclear disaster. They instituted a new feed in tariff and their PV factories  are now all running  24 hours a day and producing a solid profit of around 20%. The price of a 40 ft. container in Japan is approx. 80¢/watt compared to around 65¢/watt in the U.S. where factories run at a fraction of their full capacity and never made a profit in their entire history. And now they face decreased governmental incentives on the federal, state and local utility levels.

In the U.S., instead of building a solid foundation for supporting this industry we beat it into the ground.  Our chance to do something good is being wasted.  With our cannibalistic  national debt about to devour us, the last of our money is being wasted on an oversized  ineffective self defeating bureaucracy.  Unbelievable incentives and subsidies for   a dangerous fossil fuel and nuclear energy industry are being increased. Renewable energy incentives are being reduced across the board. Our political parties take turns getting nothing meaningful done and pass the time by taking bribes (campaign donations) from PACS and   powerful lobbies to pass their crooked legislation  or  just pad good legislation with so much pork for private projects. After years of fighting against almost impossible odds to have legislation even get to a vote, is incredible just in itself. What we usually get is so watered down and full of pork it’s not worth much to the American people but plenty to the Political Action Committees (PACS) and the Lobbyists. If we want to change anything we need to know the truth. Try this place www.projectvotesmart and get involved. They can tell you who to write to in Washington D.C. If your like me you probably don’t know all your Representatives but its time we found out.

“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore” is ringing in my head. So is the theme song to Mission Impossible. Johnny my  8 year old son is learning to play his Yamaha piano and he plays it constantly, perfectly but constantly and using every single synthesized musical instrument: organ, drums, accordion, in every key A, C, E,…  Da.. Da Da Da, Daaa Da Da da da..tedle do teedle de dodle da, da, da, .. da Daaa da. Anyway that’s appropriate too I guess for this blog ending.

“At Sun Electronics Customer Service begins and ends with the owner.

Don’t hesitate to call me anytime. I will help resolve any problem you have.

We’re taking the earth solar, one day at a time.”

I don’t get it.

How could the Heat get cremated like that?

Everyone in Miami is blown away and dragging around in disbelief.  113 to 77 – 36 freaking points! It seemed as if San Antonio totally stopped shooting anything but 3’s, Miami’s bench, coach and the players looked on in comic disbelief.

Well maybe the PV business isn’t that bad, but even though it’s OK, it seems like the summer doldrums have hit the “tropics,” as well as the supply of the much cheaper panels we can normally find.

I went to China and Korea and walked around isles and isles of show booths (1500 in Shanghai and 500 in Korea) and no matter where I went or who I asked it was a no show in the end. In Korea there was a glimmer of hope but in the end, nada. In China it was weirder, a glimmer of hope then then the responses to our follow up emails poured in “We are sorry to inform you that we are not selling any of our Grade B modules outside of China. They will all be sold into the Chinese market.” Every final response we got from our massive follow up “was identical, AAAAAYYYYYEEEEE-DENTICAL !” (from My Cousin Vinnie with Joe Pesci.)

Weird.

So while normally we have a flurry of buying activity all year long, this has got me thinking. Why would the Chinese be doing this?

1. They heard about Sun Electronics success and decided to copy us like everything else on the Planet.

2. They decided to fight the ignorant theory that that everything solar from China is Cheap Chinese Crap (CCC) and are blaming it on us.

3. They came to their senses and realized they had a Golden Opportunity instead of a Disaster (U.S. and European dumping tariff ) on their hands and by grabbing hundreds of MW’s of their mothballed 2% production fall-out (normal worldwide),  was the fastest way for their factories to actually make a profit and open up a huge new market, their own. Besides with 3 Billion people most of them had no idea what a solar panel even looked like so.. .. “Blemishes, we no cary about tiny stinke blemishes, oh looky me got lucky pretty spot on mine! Maybe worth mor money!”

4. They were tired of little Sun Electronics Int., Inc. continually beating the crap out of their unbelievable government supported prices even as they dumped Grade A solar panels as they continually lowered their prices to stay at least 10 cents/a watt lower at every PV trade show for the last 5 years. No matter what they did, American ingenuity, entrepreneurship, intelligence, and creativity at making more money beat them every time.

Problem is that Grade B had to be lower right so we always got 30% lower no matter how much they cut the price. so how do you solve that. Like a dog chasing it’s own tail. The dogs owner, the President of China, She Jumping, has to cut the tail off his dog.

It’s just a matter of time. Just as sure as the Heat will come back and give San Antonio a run for their money.

John

You can’t even buy a Grade B module from the Chinese. You know why because they are smart enough to keep them for themselves. All off spec modules, Grade B, Blemished, with a scratch on the frame, a funny colored cell, tiny bubbles the size you see in Pellegrino but no more than you can count on two hands in the Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) laminating material, easily fixable bubbles under the Tedlar back skin,  a scratch on the glass; with a flea, fly, eyelash, booger,  finger nail,  chad, a piece of rice, scorpion stinger, chopstick splinter, or fish scale under the glass, micro cracks, teeny chips or tiny cracks on cells, solder spots.

They use them all and not for poor people living in the hills, for the rich as well. You can’t even get one out of the whole country and believe me we have tried. They now know. They’re gone You can only get them in America from Solar World, ha ha ha. Seriously.

Thank the media and everyone else who said it was all cheap Chinese Crap. Go down to the Diamond District in N.Y. and see how they treat diamonds with defects, their called diamonds anyway you put it.

I can’t believe it we sent a letter to every single PV company and every single one says “We do not sell Grade B outside of China”. At least they have a dictator who is a hell of a great businessman. Hey that’s what we need. Communism like in the 60’s and 70’s with Communes with Distributed Mini-Solar Factories.

Google Alert: how stupid does that sound, Oh shit man it’s a Google Alert! We forgot to get our Google Alert Emergency Preparedness Supplies!
I used to like the Google Alert – solar panels newsletter. But come to think of it , it comes out every day so its bound to have some real stupid stuff in it, they do a good job but they ought to do a little due diligence on it, they’ll publish anything about solar, anything with the word “solar” in it seems to be worthy of a solar panel Google Alert !
The latest is an article about defective modules, they used solar module testing companies as their source, great. These guys are trying to start a business based on the fear that you better be careful or those modules your buying wont last unless they have our testing label on them. My good friends at Solar Buyer were used to prove exactly that point. They make their living running around China testing panels for buyers to prove their safe and sound. Funny I seem to remember them trying to get me to buy Chinese modules that had never been tested except by the factory they worked for before it went bankrupt, Evergreen Solar. So you see they sell you FEAR just like insurance companies. Nice guys though, I really like Ian Gregory and his partner Peter. They helped me with the Evergreen Auction. You know the one I lost about a Million dollars on. Then demanded I pay him $180,000 for his help, I ‘m not joking. I gave him and Peter $90,000, I’m humiliated to say, what a sap I am. They know I got totally hammered on the deal.
If you are worried about modules blowing up, going kaput, bursting into balls of fire, then think about this, there are hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings with systems and how many have had this happen, none damn it. What a bunch of losers. I have sold thousands of containers of B modules over the last 10 years and how many have been returned because of defects? Like 3! Hell people bought’em because they had defects! The article does not bother to explain that people buy them because they know the defects (are cosmetic only; not chemical, electrical, molecular, mechanical, radioactive, toxic, poisonous, vodoo or diabolical.) The cosmetic blemishes are a tiny chip in a cell the size of a freckle, a cell of a lighter color, a scratch on a section of frame, or a hair or a piece of paper the size of a chad might be under the glass. The article does not mention the unbelievable price for them that makes them immediately cheaper than the electricity the utility produces (without having to have an incentive, rebate, tax credit, REC, FIT, PURPA, PPA, or Federal, State, or City Grant or Royal Screw job to the Tax Payers to make it cost effective.) The reporter does not mention that the lifetime is practically the same as any other panel, 30 to 40 years.
Instead, the author, says their power will simply dissolve into smoke and that there have been instances where this has happened but they are not allowed to say where or whose panels. What kind of crap is that? In 40 years I have known of two problems worth mentioning. One where Kyocera (voted the most high tech company in Japan in Forbes) had some 130 watt modules mysteriously failed (they replaced every one and fast) and BP had some J-boxes catch fire in Europe that had a wooden mounting structure. Power was fine but the j-box had a defect.
Jeez look at cars, hundreds of thousands recalled because of deaths due to: roll overs, failing brakes, gas pedals sticking, cars exploding but do we see articles attacking the future of the automobile, NOT!

Negative, Negative, Negative. Why don’t they throw in some drawings of teenagers getting electrocuted because they had developed an addiction to solar electricity at PV parties where they would secretly go out to (Burning Man) the desert where they hold hands in a chain reaction with solar electricity passing thru them. (this is actually something that happened back in the early days of electricity and yes, electricity is addictive, look it up) Oh yeah and in the background of the drawing they have to include, flaming solar panels, surrounded by mean looking little Chinese people dancing around them in a circle doing the Texas two step with horns, little pitch forks and pointy tails. I had to say that because I actually learned to do the Texas two step, nothing against Texas or China, I love them both, seriously. Also because Solar World sent out an email with a disgusting drawing, as racist as could possibly be, of an ugly, evil, looking deformed Chinese man, to prove their point about the Chinese.
The comments were great except they had a big “COMMENTS CLOSED” SIGN ON IT after 24 hours of getting 50+ comments (it pleased the haters and pissed off the solar folks, hell I was gonna get on there and kick some ass too but a lot of other people beat me to it.
Bottom line about quality, are you afraid of your sliding glass doors or the windows in your car? If you are then you don’t deserve solar energy because your probably scared of your own stinking shadow so DON’T BUY THEM, YOUR HOPLESS! and for Wholesale Solar who’s only honest thing was to put a really dumb comment on there that as an obvious excuse to just mention their name and location, (I know I’ve done it too) (Mt. Shasta, the name of a cheap (10¢) new soda that tasted like crap in the early 60’s) of their company. Oh and their comment showed their true colors, which was, “we only sell the good ones.”
They’re half the cost and they won’t lose power anymore than the top brand panels and that’s been totally blown out of proportion as well. I will be going to the IEEE PV Specialists show in Tampa, June 16th thru the 21st and will have actual evidence to what I stated here. Yes that’s right real evidence not just me shooting my big mouth in the foot again.
Thank you , right?, to all those people who made a good case to defend the honor of the crystalline photovoltaic module against all those horrible defects that mysteriously manifest themselves all over the industry. As she, the author pointed out, “ the problems seem to be mainly caused by a special coating put on the cells”, can you believe that shit, fucking NY times moronic reporter. Its called EVA and its been used and continually improved for 25 years. Yeah sure it has a shelf life. If you use old EVA it “might” slowly turn yellow, so what, it will still last 25 years. Check out the Bus Shelters in Tucson with 25 year old modules from ARCO, the lights still work. What else do you want? What can you buy that will last 25 years, a hammer, nails, some bricks, your teddy bear, radioactivity on spent fuel rods (2,000 years)… OK …..but how about a car, a plane, a generator, a nuclear power plant, furniture from IKEA, clothes, a thong, kids toys, drugs, childhood, or a TV oh oh yeah or a VACUME CLEANER.
Oh and they urge everyone to get out there with a meter and test their panels to see if they are still putting out what they were supposed to. Yeah and while were at it lets to the same for our pencil sharpners, toasters and cars. Are you still getting the recommended daily allowance from those Vitamins you’ve had stored in the cupboard for the last 5 years?
40 years in solar so don’t fuck with me. Get out of my way I’m comin thru, here comes the Sun like it or not. I want to scream and swear right here, but I’m supposed to be learning to control myself, its just that I keep thinking, I might not be around much longer so why should I hold back, it’s for solar. I don’t really hate that reporter or Wholesale Solar but my friends back home and here at work don’t think I have a life because I sit up all night after working since dawn writing this stuff or answering tons of email but I did get to watch the Heat play Indiana again tonight and I do swim almost everyday with my son, but they say your in-box will always be full, and all new people in 100 years and, it’s the little things in life that count and breathing is the most important gift we ever got and we can ignore it or focus on it once in a while because God breathed his holy name into the face of every man and truth is the consciousness of bliss and the Our Father and the Hail Mary yeah that’s the ticket solar energy is small stuff like everything else, WRONG! There is real evidence that solar energy is great stuff and incredibly important and it must be used NOW before its too fricking late for everything, yeah I’m one of those poor addicted greenies yeeech, just call me Dr. Solar and read the comic book, I prefer that explanation and label much more.
Oh yeah, “Let he who has not sinned throw the first stone” and “He who calls his brother a fool shall perish in the fires of hell.” I apologize and I will try not to do it again. AMEN. Seriously, do you know what I mean? Solar energy eats away at people, it consumes people like the SUN and gives new life at the same time. You can tell by the reaction it gets from people. Read the article and then the comments, its good, its like the Russians vs. the Americans during the Cold War. Dire threats of total destruction vs. the Salvation of the Universe.

in CASE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD sUNTECH IS DUMPING APPROX. 50 mw OF MODULES IN CHINA TO A COMPETITOR, AT LEAST THAT’S THE RUMOR, SO WAS THEIR PURCHASE BY WARREN BUFFET SO MAYBE SO, MAYBE NOT. REGARDLESS JUST THE THOUGHT OF EITHER ROCKS THE INDUSTRY SINCE THEY ARE THE WORLD’S LARGEST COMPANY AND BY CHINESE PERSPECTIVE THEY ARE HUGE.

FRANKLY I DON’T BELIEVE THEY ARE 1. GOING OUT OF BUSINESS, 2. ARE REALLY ABOUT TO DO THIS AND 3. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THEY WON’T BE THE SAVIOR OF THE INDUSTRY BY FEIGNING FAILURE.

THINK ABOUT IT, THE WORLD WANTS TO GO SOLAR. ITS SUCKING US ALL IN, AYTHING TO RAISE THE PRICE OF ELECTRICITY , WHICH IS ENEVITABLE AND LOWER THE PRICE OF MODULES WILL QUICKLY CREATE GRID PARITY NOT IN THE MAINSTREAM CITIES OF THE u.s> BUT JUST LIKE THE VERY BEGGINNING OF COST EFFECTIVE PV USE IT WILL BEGIN IN REMOTE POPULATION CENTERS WHERE THE COST TO BRING FOSSIL FUELS IS PROHIBIITIVE AND THE COST OF GETTING ELECTRICITY IS THE HIGHEST, I BLEIEVE.

I spend too much time looking at the competition. You should just run your own race but once in awhile you need to gather intelligence on the competition and you have to turn and look at the other side of the blinders your supposed to be wearing.

Wholesale solar has mastered Google or Google owns Wholesale Solar. Pick a subject that is related to solar electric and search it from anywhere in the world and guess what they pop up every time on the first page and often at the the very top position, yeah yeah I know all about the paid ads but I’m talking about in the free ads! And to make it worse they are usually at the top of the page in the paid sponsored ads as well. www.wholesalesolar.com What the hell is going on?

I heard that there was that other company who did so well for so long , I think it was www.homesolar.org (and all these .org’s for profit are all over now too) well its not illegal I guess. Anyway, solar home.org had hundreds of guys in India working for them. They had tons of sights but didn’t really care about selling anything but the web sites.

So the question of the day is how does Wholesale Solar do it. They have a little office on main street in Mt. Shasta, the nice owner and his wife, sorry I forgot your names, retired and gave the company to the employees, I heard and now they run it. It must be hell to run a company with so many owners, really. Regardless, they are still kicking the heck out of every other solar company in the world on Google and that’s pretty damn good. My hats of to those guys. Maybe we should be soul brothers.

If anyone at Wholesale Solar would like to tell me, I am all ears, in fact at this point, I’d be willing to  do just about anything because I know it’s the only thing keeping us from growing exponentially.  No one can touch our prices, we have fixed our customer service, our inventory is 10 times what theirs is. We recently visited their office and saw the warehouse it was limited to about 2 types of solar panels and very small. There are nothing but lots of digits with good technical skills but everything has to be dropped shipped from the suppliers. Not good if you want to give real customer service. Never let the inventory and shipping be in control of someone else. But they own Google or maybe Google has taken them under its wing. It sure seems like they need something like that to do what they are doing.

Personally Im ’,scared of my writing but then that doesn’t help anything. I hate getting scared its so depressing. Thinking that you can’t succeed or that everyone else is doing better. I didn’t do anything this weekend, I worked, had a wonderful swim with my son and his girlfriend Jade and then my wife and sister in-law dragged them away to go over to “their” house. So I slept, went swimming read, and weirdly found myself meditating in the pool as I ate an orange at dawn. I tried to imagine my self being on the planet as it rolled towards the east as I floated up to space and looked at myself at the tip of Florida like astronauts in space.

Oh yeah and I watched Batman with the Joker for the first time last night and turned it off, it was just too sick. After traveling outside the country, (its time to confess I never went to Ge3rmany, I went to Korea and China (you see I like to not let my competitors know what I’m really up to)), you know how you come back and see things differently, well I think television sucks at least my selections. I have to upgrade, its just the thing to do because there are really wonderful movies, shows and other cool stuff on available to watch. Good for the family and the soul, I think. A TV with shitty programs is like what? in your house? old garbage stinking up the place every time you open the lid of the can.

I wish I could be funnier, of course I could be if I wanted to be. I saw this very good commercial about something today where they talked about how you can do anything and that the only limit is the limit you place on yourself. I thought about borrowing more money and investing it in more solar panels deals, now I am thinking about how I could get other’s peoples money to invest in Sun Electronics, now I m thinking about what a pain the the ass it would be to have some giant corporation where I would have to answer to hundreds of investors with hundreds or thousands of employees, yuck!

Now I’m thinking about being small but the thought of not doing my best in the solar business is impossible. My goal has always been idiotic, to convert the entire world to solar power. Why? or I forgot I’m supposed to say Why Not? Congressman Brown again talking to me. I used to work in Washington D.C. what a weird place, I was so happy to leave. I loved working for Congressman Udall and George Brown but that was the only part I liked besides the museums and the jazz and a lot of very nice black people. Its funny I hardly ever remember any Jewish people there. I can understand why. It sucks. I used to think that the United States would be so much better if you could just destroy everything inside the beltway, like with a meteor or something that didn’t cause anybody to get hurt. You know what I mean.

Life. Life is so strange. What the heck is going on? There is this great line that says don’t let your low moods fool you. There trying to fool me now. It says you have to know that they won’t last long and you’ll feel like you have Midas touch again soon. I think I’ll get out of the house, and get some fresh air. One thing about Miami, there’s no air pollution, its always fresh and clean, be it cool or steamy.

Remember the Veterans, dead and alive. I was at school the other day and the children’s papers where hanging up in the classroom, second grade, 8 year olds, they were being taught Beatles music. Studying the lyrics, one of them wrote, the song means “nothing is worth dying or killing for.” I would agree with that then again I wouldn’t.

Oh OK, they keep talking about 850 MW solar farms in places like Antelope Valley and then show this pristine picture of these shaded sand dunes or dawn in some beautiful desert surrounded by mountains right out of the Hobbit or someplace and then say we need more Antelope Valley’s, who the … are they trying to kid. Freaking ugly solar farms. Have you ever seen the pictures of places where there were hills and the greedy bastards tried to fit as many solar panels as they could where vineyards used to be  and the arrays look like someone scattered big misaligned, goofy displaced ugly messes all over the hills. I mean really ugly stuff. Glass sheets for square miles with polka dotted containers holding electrical crap mixed in.

Put it where it belongs, where its really needed and it will all work out better for everyone isn’t that the general idea about solar. Greed has moved in and people are just destroying nature and beauty again. At least an oil spill dissipates over the years, the pollution from coal blows away with the wind. Visual pollution and environmental destruction isn’t an issue where big money can be had even for solar power, I know. I know it will be stopped and in the end God’s in control.

The Open House was a Huge Success. Here are some pictures taken inside the Warehouse.

Please watch the Blog and the web site. Sometimes I publish Big Deals on the Blog days ahead of the publishing on the website or an e-mail blast occurs. Always check here first is the best thing to do if you are trying to score modules at our best rice or as we say “the world’s lowest prices.”

I have just returned from a huge show and I have 50 or so great deals on Modules and laminates, all types and grades, from the world’s most efficient mono to thin film; every type of inverter you can imagine, all sizes, all Voltages and Hertz, with or without built in battery chargers, mounting structures all types and all sizes; batteries, wind generators, charge controllers, MPPT’s, laminators, module testers, electro-luminescence scanners, meters, cables, J-boxes and more all at unbelievable prices I’m sure.

The average price of a MW order is 65 to 75 cents/watt of top tier manufacturers. 

Here’s what we want to do we need those that can afford it to prepay again like the 38,000 Evergreen’s we purchased at Auction and the 12 volt modules we just sold the same way. OK, OK if you don’t know who we are then let it go if you want but for those of you who do and don’t worry I’m not going to say my standard stump speech about me but you know me and you know this company. We will never let you down or gamble on any risky deals. Anyway you got it. Tats the plan.

Of course we will be buying stock and helping fill container orders by picking up the slack to get them full. If you’re a competitor don’t fret just call me on may cell ad we will work as a team and sell to you just so we can avoid losing money, bad habit of mine. Trust me its not intentional.

Every container we buy, company we buy from and product we buy will receive proper due diligence unless we have already been there and inspected and tested the product. We will require light tower tests for all modules. For those outside of the U.S. there are great savings to be had by utilizing our shipping department with the best rates that took us 23 years to find.

We have a reputation for honesty, read the testimonials, look at our BBB rating, we have sold a hundred megawatts this way, prepaid over the last 23 years and we have never given terms, its always been prepaid even when I worked for Kyocera Solar as their Latin and Caribbean Sales manager in for 6 years.

Ok Ok you can read “About Us” ITS ALL THERE and then ask my wife to make sure I’m not BSing, whatever it takes. Right now we need to get it all posted on the blog then send out a bulk email blast to those who have registered on the home page.

Your gonna like this. As you can tell I ‘m a little excited about the future of solar for awhile it looked like Solar World had ruined it for everyone, actually they have improved it by making guys like you and me try even harder to MAKE SOLAR AFFORDABLE. So here’s a big thank you to Solar World and a shout out to my friends Pete Denapoli, Sandra and that wonderful Indian guy over there ( I want to say Sanjay Gupta that runs the place but that’s not right, it will come to me on the way home), Hey it wasn’t your fault you blocked all the Chinese imports in the USA and Europe (half the known world) just because the owners couldn’t get blood out of turnip. Your all great guys and so are we. We all make mistakes.
