> China’s solar industry is also grappling with oversupply. This year the prices of most components of solar modules have fallen below their average production cost.

This should surely be regarded as an opportunity to install solar panels at low cost while stocks and production capacity still exist.

The panels themselves have been an insignificant parr of the total cost for a while.

Mounts, connectors, wires, and inverters end up costing much more than the panels.

If the profit margin is 10% then a 10% reduction in total material and labour cost more than doubles your profit margin if you keep your prices the same.

So how small a part of the total is the module cost? Even if you can only save 5% you still make more than 50% extra profit.
