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.
You do see them from time to time in especially rough rural areas. I can remember one that was apparently painted from the "oops" paint section of the local hardware store surrounding a strip club next to a junkyard.
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.

You don't want a plywood fence though. PV panels are cheaper than the decorative wood fences are made of. Wood fences are easily 100€/m around here.
I can't recall ever seeing a plywood fence in North America.
