Would it really be peanuts? Solar panel manufacture isn't exactly cheap, nor entirely sustainable (see, for instance, the black market for sand; and economics/politics over lithium mining). Solar panels also degrade; new technology replaces old and has to be paid for and made and installed; the infrastructure tying it all together isn't free either...
I feel like solar power, for all its excellence, is not as simple as upgrade as my rts-/tycoon-/sim-gamer's mind thinks it should be.
Upgrading is never simple or straightforward. But it is something we need to do otherwise we won't have a planet to live on.
Agreed, but there's a real cost involved and a real cost analysis to do. Like with the question of people upgrading to more efficient cars (and scrapping the old) or running the old for longer to minimise car manufacture.
