A non-solar story to start your day and it’s pretty scary. According to a US Study, 4,000 people die every day in China due to pollution. That’s an insane number! Makes me reconsider if yesterday’s acquisition of Suniva by Shunfeng wasn’t about US tariffs or US content but about lowering the carbon cost of solar modules that travel the world by cargo ship. Think about it. Silicon is manufactured on one continent. Cells are made on another. Then transported to the next Country to be assembled into modules and then sold into the final market.
