House rent prices exist because of the demand. If there were enough supply in housing there would be less demand and more would sit dormant.
When the raw materials are mined by robots, delivered by robots, manufactured into useful materials by robots, delivered by robots, manufactured into solar cells by robots, and the solar cells delivered and set up by robots… Then the solar cells will also be free. Along the way they will get cheaper and cheaper too.
If I would own a huge robot farm I’m not sure why I would give anybody free solar cells instead of selling them. I might have other uses for my robots.
For energy to be free that means there’s a lot more energy created than there’s demand. I find that unlikely. Additional energy can be used for more computing and better AI.
There might be really free energy on some days in the summer where solar cells are at peak production, but there’s no economic reason why it would be free to have 24/7/365 energy.

I recommend tabooing the word free in order to think more clearly.
“Then the solar cells will also be free.”
Bit of a non-sequitur there.
