Buying these panels may make your arrays cheaper to build but it is at the expense of the freedom of an entire people enslaved to save you a few pennies per watt. Think about that before you buy products from these regions.

It seems like the only thing China doesn’t touch is the American made thin film First Solar CdTe series 6 utility scale panels. That can replace some projects needing panels.

Mandate decarbonization of the grid by 2035, keep tariffs in place, shoot himself and his mandate in the foot. Bring along this UFLPA shoot himself in the knee. Go out for a bike ride to clear his head, fall off the bicycle.
