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.
