China has flooded the market with so many solar panels that people are using them as garden fencing.
Solar panels — 80% of which are made in China — are so cheap that they are now being used to line garden fences in Germany and the Netherlands, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Fences covered in solar panels are also starting to take off in the UK, North America, and Australia.
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is set to discuss the overcapacity during her trip to China starting Wednesday.
What do you say?
Has China intentionally created this global glut for solar panels? If yes, why?
How does it impact the local manufacturers of solar panels?
How do you see this in a long term? Is it good for the growth of sustainable and renewable energy sources?
