would it make any sense to spend precious time and resources to produce millions of solar panels to then just not bother to plug them in?

Totally, you can get all the money from the government for it so you make the profit. Just look at the rent a bike industry in China or the EV industry

doesnt matter if its the government making that investment or private interests.

why invest and waste time and resources to make and install solar panels and not bothering to plug them in? thats a really bad take.

I just showed you that there are doin this in the other two industries, it's not such a big leap to suspect that they are doing it in a third industry too.

their EVs and ebikes are booming worldwide dude. BYD is quite huge now.

it still doesnt make sense to pay for solar panels and not install them.

Ok, I give up explaining what I mean, it doesn't matter.
