And that is the problem with solar. Other options are a lot cheaper. A LOT CHEAPER. So what is the solution for the left and enviros — make the other options a lot more expensive (by constraining supply) thereby making solar more compelling. Of course, this would create hardship for the average American but they really don't care.
Clearly, as you have shown, electricity would have to become extremely expensive before solar is compelling. The two technologies might meet in the middle at some point but that would still mean that heating and light ones house would be extremely expensive... and unaffordable.

Factoids I've heard about lately: In California, the Air Resources Board, et.al. told car companies that 20% of their sales must be electric vehicles, not hybrids, electric.
California had wiped out its nuclear industry which cleanly and safely was delivering electricity to customers for years. Additionally, the current drought has lowered even Hoover Dam's generating capacity.
Factoid: only a few years ago, SoCal Edison started building solar farms, but without workers who knew what they were doing. Subcontractors were hired, the whole thing was mismanaged, but somehow got built.
The ideology of those who pass laws to shut down nuclear, force people to buy electric battery operated cars that haven’t even been perfected and mass marketed yet are people who have a death wish for themselves and the rest of the civilized world.
