China has flooded the market with so many solar panels that people are using them as garden fencing - eviltoast
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is set to discuss industrial overcapacity with top Chinese officials during her trip to China on Wednesday.

Solar panels — 80% of which are made in China — are so cheap that they’re now being used to line garden fences in Germany and the Netherlands, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.

    There are probably a lot of people that can only afford solar at the prices they are now. Why concentrate on a handful of idiots that built fences with them instead of the thousands that are now able to install them on their roof when they couldn’t a few years ago.

    Articles like these feel manipulative. Cheap solar is never ever a bad thing. I hope they get cheap enough people slap them on umbrellas.
