Valid point, but solar got much cheaper to make in the last 10 years and production capacity has increased a lot. Even recycling broken solar panels is fairly economical, because the components are so easy to melt down and separate out. So yes, we're currently gaining solar capacity a lot because we haven't hit the phase of upkeep and replacement yet, but we can go a lot higher before upkeep becomes an actual problem.
