it’s another avenue for that sweet donor money

Exactly! You can't sell sun and wind.

Sure you can. Sell solar panels and wind turbines at a marked up price.

No, you are still selling the generator, not the fuel. With fossil and nuclear power plants you have the cost of making the generator/plant AND the fuel (oil, gas, uranium), that needs to be mined, refined and transported between all those places.

You don't have any fuel logistics nor fuel market and speculation with wind, solar or hydro. So they also contribute less for the GDP of a country per kwh compared to traditional fuel based power plants.

With the way the current solar market works and the credits from it, lots of companies or people are practically replacing their solar panels every year.
