      Seems a likely contributing factor. Economies of scale, cheaper labour, and vertical integration probably also play a part. I wonder how long the government subsidies will last?

      Why do they continue to subsidize and reduce the cost of solar PV after they have already completely destroyed any foreign competition and are the only game in town?

          Oh, whoops. I figured making a product artificially cheaper to encourage adoption and undercut competition, so much so that the competition became obsolete and customers were entrenched in your product were the first steps of “enshittification”.

          Thanks for your well reasoned rebuttal to my poorly thought comment. I appreciate your enlightened response.
