    >EU’s forced labor ban poses potential threat to solar growth

    Yes, banning imports of panels made by slaves thus limiting supply is the main reason for products overflowing European warehouses. Makes perfect sense Bloomberg.

    Rooftop solar isn’t being installed because they don’t have enough inexpensive labor. Good. Install the panels in a solar farm on the ground. It’s much more efficient both short and long term.
