Why can’t we build factories to just crank out tons of solar panels?

Maybe I’ve been playing too much factorio, but if the main ingredient is silicon it seems like we should be easily able to turn out TW worth of solar panels every year.

Factories cost money to build. Factory workers also want to be paid. If you build a US solar panel factory and the panels cost more, nobody will buy them. Chinese solar panel workers get paid a couple dollars a day. US workers won’t accept that.
