Can solar panels be made in China?

Solar panel production is a global industry, but it remains heavily concentrated in China - which controls the vast majority of the solar panel manufacturing processes. And for as long as we need silicon to produce solar panels, this situation is unlikely to change.

How are solar panels manufactured?

Solar panels are manufactured by combining six components to create a functioning solar panel. Silicon is one of the most important materials used, making up the semiconductors that create electricity from solar energy.

Where is Canadian Solar made?
