Very cool, if true

I don't actually understand this topic, but although the general trend of solar prices decreasing is very very good, my informant in solar politics added "You have to remember that the ME countries are having a pointless cockwaving contest to set the lowest headline price" and "Oh, don't be daft. There's some kind of escalator/ multiplier/ kickback on this, even if I don't know exactly what."

(Apparently https://www.pv-tech.org/editors-blog/47545 goes into more detail but I can't vouch for it personally.)
