According to the President of Venezuela, one of the OPEC member countries, there is not much more oil that they can produce. In an article published today he mentions that “Venezuela is at capacity” and he actually promotes the development of solar as an alternative.
Muchas gracias is all I can say. When the leaders of oil producing countries are calling for other energies to be invested in, now there’s a switch! However, if it has gotten to this point, we need to be concerned about what happens mid-winter when the heating furnaces are runnning full tilt.
I have a feeling that anyone with solar panel capacity is going to be plenty busy in the coming years…

Hi Sass,
This is a general comment that i thought you might want to hear. I have a solar energy products website and have been selling some of your products for many years. We are now ready to remove the ICP products from our site because of lack of availability. In other words, we can’t get the products we want to sell from ICP or our distributors. This has been going on for a long time. I am particularly talking about the BatterySaver SE and the iSun.
Thought i’d let you know of the frustration we and our distributors have with ICP over the inability to supply product on a regular schedule. We now have no idea when the items will be available and ICP has told our distributors that they don’t know when they will be available.
Thanks for listening.

NOTE FROM SASS:
ED,
You are correct in stating that ICP has been plagued, like almost every other solar vendor, by oversales of its capacity. This was exacerbated by the launch of new products and brand which is coming up on November 1st. Do visit our website at that time to see what’s new. Shipments have begun this week and many orders will be going out in the next two weeks. Contact your rep and make sure he/she sees this note reply.
We value ALL of our customer-partners and it has indeed been quite stressful on everyone to be in such an oversold position. Due to greater capacity, we expect we can cover our commitments moving forward.
Sass
