Is solar power actually clean If panels are made in China or overseas?
(We use American-manufactured panels.)
One concern often raised is the carbon footprint of manufacturing and shipping panels across the globe. The data shows that despite the need for carbon-based processes in the manufacturing and shipping process, solar panels remain a huge net-winner from a carbon impact perspective. At Sundog Solar, we cut through any doubt by sourcing American-made panels with proven quality and transparent supply chains.
Reduced Shipping Footprint
Since our panels are made here in the USA, there’s significantly less distance traveled, which trims emissions from transport. You’re also supporting domestic manufacturing and local jobs, adding another environmental and economic advantage.
High Production Standards
American-made panels typically adhere to rigorous quality benchmarks, both in how they’re produced and the materials used. This results in longer-lasting, more efficient panels—so you get more clean energy over their lifetime.
Battery Integration for Full Impact
Even the cleanest panels can waste potential if you can’t use the power when you need it. By including a battery in every Sundog system, we ensure you store daytime solar for nighttime or peak-rate periods. That way, the sustainable impact of your American-made panels is maximized.
An Overall Win for the Planet
Yes, manufacturing solar panels has an environmental cost, but their decades of nearly emissions-free operation massively offset that. Combine local manufacturing with battery backup, and you’ve got an unbeatable green solution.
