We now know that the manufacture of a panel generates 322 kg of CO2 and that it will take about 4 years of energy production to offset this. Photovoltaic panels are, therefore, good for the planet as their production of electrical energy is completely carbon neutral after 4 years.
Today, we have decided to go even further and compensate for this balance during the manufacturing process by planting, via the NGO Graine de Vie, 4 trees per photovoltaic panel delivered! Indeed, trees are one of the only natural methods of capturing CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
