The fact that solar panels are getting cheaper on a sqft basis than plywood or sheet metal means we are going to stat to shove them in lots of places we never expected to especially if micro inverters or optimizes become cheap as well. why not use solar panels on your fence if it is cheaper than any other options.

I was considering this earlier in the year, as it happens.

Just checked my local online store - non-structural plywood is still about 5-10x cheaper.
