US Module Market Update - As we head into summer and the remainder of the year, we are likely going to see more and more module changes and shuffling at time of install in order to keep projects moving forward and may include some white back sheet paper modules. We are doing everything we can to prepare for this and have been for months but depending on the direction this investigation and other module manufacturers go, there could be a big impact (click here). We also may need to work together as this goes on to figure out how to keep modules coming to us at potentially much higher prices. The good thing is we are in markets that can best withstand impacts like this and we are well positioned as a company to navigate what's ahead.
