Once China reaches enough solar panels for itself the amount they export will skyrocket and it will provide solar for the whole world, because it's profitable at scale.

They've been exporting for years. Which is why USA made them expensive and made laws to prevent people from buying them.

China has been providing solar to the entire world for a long time. China produces more solar energy just inside China that exceeds the entire energy consumption of USA.

Take a moment on that one. Appreciate that scale.
