STOP FUNDING THE CCP

Every dollar you spend on Chinese solar panels goes straight to the CCP. Here are 6 companies that build panels with AMERICAN hands on AMERICAN soil. Not shipped from a factory in a country that hates us. Not assembled by people being paid $3 an hour in a surveillance state. AMERICAN.

WHY IT MATTERS WHERE YOUR PANELS COME FROM

This isn’t about aesthetics. This is about WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES.

American solar panels:

• Support American workers earning American wages
• Keep money in American communities
• Are subject to American labor laws and environmental standards
• Generate ZERO revenue for the Chinese Communist Party

Chinese panels:

• Manufactured under CCP oversight in facilities with documented forced labor concerns
• Produced with coal power (China’s grid is 60%+ coal)
• Fund a regime that is actively competing against American industry
• Have been subject to U.S. import duties for documented trade violations

The choice is simple. Buy American or don’t buy at all.

THE INSTALLER CHECKLIST

Before you hand a single dollar to ANY installer, ask them these questions. If they can’t answer, WALK AWAY.

1. “Where are the panels manufactured?” — Country and specific facility.
2. “Are these panels eligible for the domestic content bonus?” — That’s an extra 10% tax credit if they qualify.
3. “Can you provide manufacturer documentation for my tax filing?” — IRS Form 5695 requires documentation.
4. “What percentage of your projects use American-made panels?” — Low number = they’re not prioritizing your money.
5. “Do you use American-made racking and inverters as well?” — Domestic content applies to the full system.
6. “Are you certified by NABCEP?” — North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners. If not, why not?

An honest installer will answer all six without hesitation. If they dodge, deflect, or say “it doesn’t matter,” they’re either uninformed or they’re steering you toward cheaper Chinese components for better margins. Either way: walk away.

THE DOMESTIC CONTENT BONUS: AN EXTRA 10%

Here’s something your installer might not tell you: if you use American-made panels and American-made mounting hardware, you qualify for the domestic content bonus — an additional 10% tax credit on top of the standard 30%.

That’s 40% back off your system cost.

On a $24,000 system: $9,600 back in your pocket.

THE BOTTOM LINE

You have a choice. Every American solar buyer has a choice. You can fund the CCP by buying Chinese panels. Or you can fund American workers by buying American.

The money performance is the same. The panels are the same quality. The government incentives are the same — better, actually, with the domestic content bonus.

The only difference is where your money goes.

Are you going to keep funding them? Or are you going to FIGHT BACK?
