    Where does the silicon metal come from to produce the solar panels?
    China.
    How is silicon metal made?
    How many old growth forest and mangroves are chopped down in Myanmar in this unscrupulous trade.

    One tonne of charcoal is used to produce every one tonne of silicon metal.

    Obviously the climate change clowns don't realise this.

    99% of all solar panel installed in Australia are made in China, the 1% made by Tindo Solar are still made using silicon metal produced in China using mangroves that are chopped down and burnt in Myanmar.
