Quick look near here -- wood panels are ~50-99eur for .9->1.8m x 1.8m fence panels. I've priced out 550W solar panels (which should be about 1x2M) for about 100

Quick look near here -- wood panels are ~50-99eur for .9->1.8m x 1.8m fence panels. I've priced out 550W solar panels (which should be about 1x2M) for about 100£. (Both retail, but different countries (ire/uk)) So, not price parity but also only about a factor of 2 or so. On the other hand, Ali Express panels are about half that UK price at a 10 panel quantity, with unknown shipping. I'm kind of eyeing the concrete block wall in the back garden currently covered by a hedge.
