Solar Panels
Date: 2018-10-09 03:59 pm (UTC)Thinking about the cost components
Cost of the panels - raw materials
Cost of the panels - manufacturing equipment and labour
Cost of the panels - energy for production
Land
Installation
Maintenance
Grid connection
Finance and interest costs

Land and installation are going to be locally driven costs. Some of the grid connection costs are local. Some of the maintenance costs are local. Subsidies and taxes are mostly local.
(I'm also not sure that the concept of a loss-leader exactly applies to large infrastructure projects.)
