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.
Solar panels are slabs of semi-conductor metal. Technically speaking, they are a slab of silicon semi-conductor doped or added with impurities to make it a better conductor. Solar panels could also be made of Gallium Arsenide which is a semi-conductor metal exclusively used in photo-voltaic cells. The silicon slabs are polished and glossed before doping. After processing, for protection, a thin glass layer is embossed on the solar cells slab.
