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

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.
