Look at the materials required to construct a solar panel.They cost about $200.00. Add a day's labor to that $200.00, and you've got yourself a solar panel. You could sell iffor $400.00, and you've got yourself a job. So, why isn't anyone doing it?We live in a free enterprise economy, do we not?
Not.
We live in a capitalist economy, which games the system to PREVENT free enterprise. You are not allowed to sell your solar panels without a stamp of approval from Underwriters Laboratories -and they are gate keepers for Wall Street.The cost of shaking hands with UL prevents free enterprisers from operating in that market -and the same thing is going on in almost every market. The little guy is locked out by the engineered and manipulated expense of sitting at the table - locked out. Only Wall Streeters, using OTHER PEOPLES' capital, can afford to play in the game.
We need to go back to a free enterprise economy, where the little guy does not face unsurmountable obstacles to starting a small business.
What a foolish idea of selling. All that needs to be done is to use something with an Underwriters Lab tag on it in making the unit. Many companies use an electric cord with one.
Also the materials to create a solar panel of any usability for electric power will require much more than $200. First a solar panel of enough power output is required. Then a bank of batteries are connected to it. From the batteries an inverter to create 120 volts that can can sync with the power company. Those three basic parts of creating electricity from solar panels cost much more than $200.
