I would be interested in working with them.

This is exactly what the U.S. needs right now. It has been made painfully aware that the U.S. has been allowing itself to depend on too many ‘other’ sources for its supply chain of materials used to manufacture solar PV panels and other components and equipment here in the U.S., and this has created a national security issue in the flow of manufacturing and products from the U.S. to sell World wide. I have used the old and now out of business Sanyo HJT solar PV panels for my own use and these panels are (still) in use today and probably for at least another decade or two after that. The bottom line is can this company get HJT panels at ‘retail’ costs below $0.80/watt when “made in the U.S.A. ?”
