We have a free market and if Solar truly is so cheap to make, why has a company not popped up and just undercut all of the competition?

Free Market? There's no such thing as Free Markets. it's been gone for 15-20 years. Any discussion of free markets is from a capitalist point of view that they own and control their market - That's what passes for free markets today.

Every vertical market has been bought and consolidated by corporations. The people that make up the boards of these corporations are on the boards of 200+ other corporations.

Which brings us to the next point:

Collusion

The most obvious example of this - Big Pharma

There is sooo much price gouging going on, every single multi-millionaire wants to be a billionaire. The only way for them to achieve this is exorbitant profiteering and suppression of wages

Anyone that makes moves to undercut the profits of a mega-corp gets bought out, as it is easier for them to buy out the competition than compete
