The corrugated medium and linerboard board are made of kraft containerboard, a paperboard material usually over 0.01 inches (0.25 mm) thick.
The panels contain cells made in China, Taiwan and, sometimes, Germany. Grape still plans to import inexpensive Chinese-made cells, and to buy Oregon-made inverters -- which convert direct current to alternating current -- for the panels it assembles in Eugene.
1 The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project in the California Mojave Desert, 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Las Vegas, with a planned gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW).olar power in the United States includes utility-scale solar power plants as well as local distributed generation, mostly from rooftop photovoltaics.
