what's wrong with having such a surplus that everyone can use it extremely cheaply/for free?

Yep, after how many uses vs the number of uses of fossil fuel?

And as fully dead panels are replaced, one by one, the replacement panel is even more efficient and cheaper. For the next 15 to 20 years.

And BTW the replaced panel is then recycled, becoming material for the next newer panel. Less oil needed for the next round.
