    In a way kinda. It’s problematic though that China is using Uyghur forced labour to produce cheap solar panels.

    This of course allows them to undercut any other manufacturer, driving them out of the market. So the delivery chain is getting kinda small and the products have forced labour attached to them.

      It’s no secret that a lot of the industry almost depends on slavery… It’s disgusting how corporations crave in to China simply because money with an actual slavery. Very much real proof that no matter how companies sprinkle their logos with rainbows and everything, they don’t care and would go organ harvesting kids if that is legal and lucrative.
