Made in the USA with Global Components

The Federal Trade Commission provides guidance on qualifying with its Made in USA
Standard, and the proper application and use of the term “Made in the USA”
(https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/plain-language/bus03-complying-made-usa-
standard.pdf). The Yaskawa Solectria Solar products listed above all meet this standard.

Compliant with the Buy American Act of 1933 (BAA)

In addition to meeting the requirements for the Made in the USA with global components, the
above products meet the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) definition of a Commercial Off-
The-Shelf (COTS) item. This is defined as, “a commercial item (Item that can be sold, leased, or
licensed to the general public); Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace;
and Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification,
in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace.”

Yaskawa Solectria Solar is proud to provide quality products manufactured in the USA with
global components.
