They mention in the article it’s specifically NOT as efficient due to not being angled properly, but that it doesn’t really matter if they’re so cheap. You know, because of the flooding of the market.

There are probably a lot of people that can only afford solar at the prices they are now. Why concentrate on a handful of idiots that built fences with them instead of the thousands that are now able to install them on their roof when they couldn’t a few years ago.
Articles like these feel manipulative. Cheap solar is never ever a bad thing. I hope they get cheap enough people slap them on umbrellas.

That’s fair!

They aren’t as efficient as a single panel but when you can buy more panels for less and still generate the same or more power, that is a definition of efficiency.
