I've been looking into this lately. Seems like it would not be that hard to set up a factory in Eastern Europe somewhere to produce cells. They won't be top of the line, but still useful and profitable, given that the best cells will be taken up by megacorps for the foreseeable future. You don't need the highest capacity stuff for power tools and home solar/wind storage, for example. The machinery is quite expensive, however.
