Chinese-made Solar Panels Installed in British Schools

The UK government-backed GB Energy's first solar panel installations in schools used panels from Chinese firms Aiko and Longi, raising concerns over forced labour and ethical sourcing due to China's dominance in solar panel manufacturing and allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. GB Energy claims compliance with UK modern slavery laws and aims to promote ethical supply chains, but critics argue that buying from China perpetuates unethical practices.
