China to build solar panels in us.
A challenge in the us is the influence of energy companies for which ssp would be a disruptive technology he says.
Even ten years ago this study said it takes about 2 years of energy generation to pay back the energy used to make the solar panel.
What zeke said is 100 true i worked for a solar cell company in mountain view with manufacturing plant in china we sold cells to most of the major solar panels brands globally.

And they appear to be getting the message.
During the trade war china imposed tariffs on imported polysilicon from american manufacturers effectively shutting out us producers from one of the largest markets in the world.
China aims to build solar energy plant in space.
The effort is partially a pr campaign as china.

In a display of china s commitment to ramping up renewable energy resources the country just finished a 250 acre solar farm in the shape of a panda.
For example sunpower has its headquarters inside the us but manufactures in china and the philippines and they have been the worldwide top brand for several years.
A week after the trump administration unveiled tariffs of.
The solar power station plans being contemplated by china include the launch of small to medium sized solar power projects in the stratosphere to generate electricity between 2021 and 2025.
