It kills me to support solar but it works well in space out to a certain distance.
Solar is fine, as long as it provided without taxpayer subsidies.
We use solar power in select locations in the oil/gas industry. Some remote locations it is cheaper to have solar and batteries to work SCADA and maybe a motor operated safety valve, than build a fueled generation system.
Why is supporting a form of energy killing you? Don’t you like batteries, electricity, silica, heat, light?
