Interesting. LG *USED TO BE* the world leader in quality solar panels, and they manufactured millions of them in a factory in Huntsville, AL.

Then they ABRUPTLY abandoned the business at the beginning of last summer.

Now this NEW south Korean solar panel company is booming in the US.

Odd to me.

As an Alabamian who recently put solar on my house, I wanted to buy panels and other equipment made in the U.S., bonus points if made in the south or even Alabama.

But I could find exactly zero information on which LG panels were made in Huntsville. Some LG panels were made in South Korea.

That's the #1 reason I bought panels made by Mission Solar in Texas.

“Odd to me.”

They couldn’t compete on price.

“they ABRUPTLY abandoned the business”

Was there a tax credit that expired?

LG is Korean.
