Are there any meaningful differences in the toxic byproducts of manufacturing, transport, and/or disposal of the panels?
I might care about that, too, but I've heard very little about it.
- jacquesm 13y agoAll things being equal (same location of production and same environmental laws in effect) that should be factored into the price. If you compare say Chinese made panels with US made panels there will be a difference due to environmental issues being ignored but this will to some extent be off-set by import duties.
