You do realize that solar panels are usually installed and maintained by small companies and not multi-billion dollar companies, right?

That means that it's more likely for the profits to stay in the local economy.

It's quite funny how you assume things about me though and thinking that I I don't do any research. How about you showing some research?

According to whom? You? Every solar panel installed in my county was done by local contractors on the behest of either the electric company or Tesla.

In my country it is mostly small local companies installing solar panels. And I think in most of Europe it's the same.

Hi, Swedish here, since the topic is on Sweden, the installment is made by small companies not big electric companies like Vattenfall. We also have subvented solar panels.
