    If there’s more demand for solar panels and the supply can’t keep up, it would cause the price to go up

      Oh sure, that just doesn’t seem likely from a practical point of view with how rapidly the technology is advancing and the constantly novel materials there using to construct the panels.

      Running out of solar panels today is akin to saying that we’ll run out of engines because so many people bought cars 100 years ago.

      We won’t run out as demand increases, we’ll figure out how to make them cheaper and more accessible with alternative materials.
