@tymwol @nickofnz it doesn't have to take land - solar farms can co-exist with other land use, and apparently can actually help - check out #AgriVoltaics

It is true that too much of it comes from China.
We have very few producers in the UK. I bought a custom sized panel from them once, but couldn't get hold of them recently :(

I also bought some from Austria.

I agree there should be more local choices.

The charge controllers and inverters I like come from America: https://www.morningstarcorp.com/

All the Chinese ones have been poor quality so far.
