Solar panels have continued to occupy their place within the upper ranks of the top 10 products on the Global Sources product sourcing website in the past 12 months despite "dark" economic times.

Month-to-month inquiries from import buyers dipped in July 2012, however, aggregate searches in the first six months of 2012 were 42 percent higher YoY.
