I am working on an American Reinvestment and Recovery Act - ARRA solar project and want to use Fronius inverters. Are Fronius inverters ARRA complient? Are they made in America or do they qualify as made in the USA so that they can be used on projects funded with ARRA funding?

In order to qualify for ARRA, there should be "a change in the character or use of the good" or "processes complex and meaningful" in the USA.
Here is a list of ARRA compliant inverters that I've found on the internet:
