I was part of a company that manufactured solar panel fabrication assembly lines at the time. One of my jobs was contacting companies to offer our services.
After reading about Solyndra, I was directed to call them. Upon telling them what our company did, I was informed thusly:
“We aren’t that kind of company.”
“What do you mean you aren’t that kind of company. You’re a solar business aren’t you?”
“No, we aren’t that kind of company.”
*click* (they hung up, not me...I was still waiting for some sort of explanation of what kind of company they WERE...and well...now we know.)
Wow! Thanks for telling us about your own personal experience with Solyndra.
