It's not solar energy production companies that have gone out of business, it's solar manufacturing companies that build panels. They simply can't compete with China's cheap prices. US and other countries have created the technology and China steals it then floods the market with cheap panels.

That has nothing to do with solar power it's self being viable or not. The energy production side of solar is a rapidly growing market, but just like any other market we can't compete with prices on the manufacturing side.
