I dont care very much how “green” they areDepends on the manufacturer. Both here and in China;
"There are several US-based solar panel manufacturers that try to source as many of their materials from the US as possible. If you buy a solar panel from a company like this, you can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your panels.
SunPower and SolarWorld are two top US-based solar panel manufacturers and produce some of the greenest solar panels available to US customers. They follow specific standards for ensuring their products are environmentally friendly and are working to continuously mitigate their carbon footprint.
Some US-based solar panel manufacturers may not have the most sustainable practices, however, and some foreign companies may be much more environmentally friendly, so it is up to you to research the company that you are looking into."
What are the greenest solar panels?
Some of the characteristics to determine the greenest panels are the materials used in its production, and where the materials were sourced, assembled, and distributed.www.solar.com
But I do care that we are importing stuff from china that should be made here
When I buy solar panels it will be for their usefulness supplying electricity rather than saving the planet
But greenies do care about reducing CO2 output and they rather than me should be demanding that we not buy solar panels from china
