It's weird that solar has become so cheap, especially in certain countries. China is trying to trade and give loans to as many 3rd world countries as it can and simultaneously it is struggling to sell all it's solar panels.

Why isn't China giving loans to 3rd world countries to build solar power plants?

It seems like a win win for Chinese panels to go to places like Pakistan and Africa.
