The process of creating solar cells is an energy intensive process. The vast majority of solar cells are manufactured in China which is well known to have a power system dominated by coal-fired power plants. “Solar is ultimately renewable, free to capture, and generally non-harmful to the environment in the manufacture of the panels themselves.”
