'Great British Energy solar panels' were made in China

'Great British Energy solar panels' were made in China

In a recent development, a Labour MP has raised concerns over the manufacturing location of the solar panels used in the 'Great British Energy' initiative. The MP claims that these solar panels were actually produced in China, rather than domestically. This revelation has sparked a debate around the importance of sourcing materials and components from within the UK to ensure ethical and transparent supply chains. The MP's concerns center on the potential risk of forced labor practices in China's manufacturing sector, which could undermine the environmental and social benefits of the 'Great British Energy' project. The article highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in the energy sector, as consumers and policymakers increasingly demand sustainable and ethically-sourced products. The MP has called on the government to prioritize domestic manufacturing and to implement stricter guidelines for supply chain integrity in renewable energy projects.
