Like solar fences: https://next2sun.com/en/solar-fence/

Solar panels are already cheaper than wood, which is amazing.

  • It’s not cheaper than wood. It’s cheaper than certain specific kinds of wood used in specific applications.

    A 2x4 stud is like $3, for example. Decorative cedar is quite a bit more expensive.

    • I don't think that you actually thought that the person you're replying to said that solar panels are now cheaper than all wood always.

  • Where are PV panels cheaper than wood? A 4x8 sheet of plywood runs about 40$ in north America, and roughly double that in Europe. I don't see PV panels anywhere near that price.
