Thank you for paying a small amount more for more efficient and US sourced solar panels. Your panels were likely made about 2 miles from my house here in Hillsboro, OR. Unfortunately, SunPower shut down the Hillsboro production facility last month and the building is being converted into a a 1 million sq ft server farm.
BTW, SunPower is a subsidiary of the French oil company Total
