		<description>Hi

Came across you site and thought i would leave a comment. Searching for new and better ways to build a solar panel. I will be building my own house and will be building it into a green home. A home making use of sun energy. I find solar energy quite intersting topic that could give home savings in the long run. Grateful for positive information on this topic of solar panels...</description>

		<description>Taking the profit you generate from your plant in China back to US HQ; is the way to prove that you are not a traitor; but making wise decision to safe guard the interest of shareholders by moving to a cheaper location to reduce the cost of manufacturing and hence increase the company profit. 

A lot of Japanese multinationals are doing that and they are the most loyal corporates in the world to their own country and not traitor but smart investor. Be open minded and prove your decision to move is correct, is most important !</description>

		<description>Hello,

   My Name is Akpore Peter O. Am a Nigerian whom has being in search for a reliable source of power supply and through frequent and unending search, I found your Company.
   I would like to know the possibility of your Company producing a solar panel which has the following features;

- Easy Installation (can be installed by buyer)
- Cheap and Affordable (the targeted end-user here are the &#039;Masses&#039;)
- Maximum power output of 800W

Majority of Nigerians here in Nigeria, have a bad perception of Solar energy this is due to its inability to generate electricity throughout the night, but due to the fluctuating cost of fuel and its scarcity (at times), alternatives are not ruled out. It is also believed that Solar power is exclusively for the rich, but I am of the opinion that a solar panel built with such flexibility as those listed above will not only appeal to the public but will also generate a whole lot of profit for your Organization, whilst changing public opinion of Solar power.

I hope this will be an end to my search and I will appreciate your reply as to the possibility of the production of a Panel that will meet the above features and while not ruling out the thought of being a local distributor or frontier of these project, I remain;

Yours faithfully
Akpore Peter O.</description>

		<description>Let me add my thanks to Evergreen Solar as well. Thank you for ripping off the tax-payers of Mass. and the entire country. Also, let me thank you for turning your backs on America and American workers. Finally, let me thank you for showing your true colors (red). I hope when the Communist Chinese government confiscates your facilities and whatever profits you think are yours, you remember the free market you threw under the bus here in the US. Disloyal traitors.</description>

		<description>Dear Evergreen solar.  I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for fleecing our country and outsourcing your product over sea&#039;s. I am involved in this industry and have a say in solidifying solar modules for projects on the West Coast.  Please don&#039;t use my company when forcasting your 2010 production planning.  I trust your current business plan supports paying back the money you took from US? ( 20+ million ) Given Americans aren&#039;t making your product, can your headquarters move to Asia too?  We don&#039;t want you here anymore.  
Thanks for taking the opportunity to contribute to the demise of this great country.</description>
